you can
1.take a scissor and cut it into pieces.
2.break it with your hand
3.scratch off the label side (anything will do.. )
4.burn it
5.do all of 'em ;)

give it for recycling . ( dont ask whom to give to , perhaps some shop which sells plastic stuff or a guy who comes on the street selling plastic stuff )

nice to know someone's interested in disposing off the cds in a proper way... dont burn them as the post above suggests. give them for recycling but i dont know if you can find a recycler here. guys be environment friendly :)
