Re-use CD spindles

February 19th, 2007 by unsteadyocean in Reuse, recycle

If you buy blank CDs or DVDs you’ll know about the spindles the discs are stored on. Once you’ve used the discs and put them in covers you are left with an empty spindle which is often thrown away. They do however have many other possible uses such as this handy headphone hook seen on instructables. You can also use them in the kids’ rooms as simple hooks or to store rubber bands or their jewellery. Recycle.co.uk also has some handy ideas for their use such as cutting the spindle part off and using them as cake boxes. Or why not use them as toilet roll holders. It’s one less thing to have to buy and you’ll be keeping something out of landfill at the same time.
