- 1). Sort through your collection of empty CD cases. Look for any that are damaged or broken and remove them from the pile. Look to recycle broken cases at a local recycling center or a specialized CD recycling company, such as Green Disk --instead of donating them.
- 2). Clean any of the CD cases that are particularly dirty or dusty to ensure that you are donating them in the best condition possible.
- 3). Use the Charity Vault website to locate a charity in your local area. Contact your chosen charity to find out if they can find a use for your unwanted CD cases.
- 4). Create an account on Freecycle.org and find a group in your local area. This website allows you to join network of users who give and receive items for free. List your CD cases on the site and see if anybody would like them..
- 5). Contact people in your local area. Local musicians and bands may be interested in your empty cases. Other places -- such as libraries, hospitals, community centers and shelters -- may all find a use for your empty cases.
- 6). Make your donation. Once you have selected where your CD cases will be donated, arrange a time for delivery of your CD cases -- either during donation drop-off hours or at a time that is suitable for both yourself and the other party.
