Good Day-
My library is really having trouble identifying vendors who might help us sustainably dispose of our CD collections (among other things). We thought we had a local vendor, but he said they can no longer get money for them so once they are ground they dispose of them like other trash. We would be paying for them to be ground up, but they would not be recycled or components recovered so that doesn't feel fiscally responsible.
Surely other libraries have dealt with this problem, does anyone have a vendor they use to dispose of CDs (and potentially like items) to companies that recover some of the item before disposing to the landfill?
Any help would be much appreciated.
