What to do with used jewel cases???

[Page14]

I'm not sure where to address this issue, so I hope it's okay that I'm posting here.

I recently transferred close to 1,000 self-recorded DVDs (recordings of TV broadcasts) from those slim CD-sized jewel cases to binders. Now I have a huge amount of empty jewel cases that I'll never use again and don't know what to do with. So my question is: Does anybody know of any places/stores that might buy them from me? And if not, is there any place I can bring them to have them recycled? I guess I'm trying to find a place that might be able to use them rather than just throw them all away. Thank you.

My best Buy has a bin to recycle them... (not sure if they recycle them or just thow them out when no one is looking.) You're amount won't fit in that bin but just stack them near it.

I was thinking of putting all my discs in slim cases like that. You can buy them in bulk at some shops here and I don't like the binder type stuff.

Thanks ... I'll check it out.

If the closest Best Buy to me (about 30 miles away) has a bin like that, maybe I'll bring the cases 100 at a time (or whatever the bin will hold) until they're all gone.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about using binders either, but being that the DVDs are all self-recorded (and therefore not the best quality anyway) ... and with the very limited amount of times I actually watch them ... I thought saving all that space was important enough to make the switch. I currently rent the 1st floor of a house ... there's only so much room to store "stuff". Whatcha gonna do!?! ... I finally got to that point.

I give all my cases to the local Anime rental places
