How to Destroy a CD or DVD

Breakage and mutilation

Fold and bust. Wrap the discs with plastic wrap and then fold it until it breaks.
Shred the discs with a disc shredder.
Cut the discs. You can use a pair of scissors, but be careful as the foil will flake.
Break the discs. Wrap the discs with a towel and use a kick or a hammer to destroy the disc. The towel is used to protect you.
Cut the discs with a knife.
Center punch the discs. Punch at least 12 holes on the discs.

Method 2 of 4:

Heat application

Microwave the discs. Place the disc into a microwave and set it for 5-10 seconds, or until you see sparks. The microwave cannot be used for food after that.
1. Always use adult supervision when doing this step.
Use a blow torch to melt the discs. Do in a safe area using proper safety gear. The ground on which the CDs sit should be inflammable, such as concrete.

Method 3 of 4:

Wiping data

Erase the discs with the computer, if the disc is rewritable and the computer has a CD-RW drive.

Method 4 of 4:

Destroying the surface

Cover the disc with duct tape, then rip it off. This does not work on all discs.
Sand the discs. Use a belt sander on the top side of the disc. This should be done in an easy-to-clean area.
Wipe with acetone. Soak a cotton pad in pure acetone, then wipe the bottom of the disc with it. It should become frosted and unreadable.
