7 Eco-friendly Ways to Put Those Old Floppys To Work

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Matt Embrey in DIY

I was doing a little spring cleaning of my office and I came across something that I come across ever year… Floppy Disks.  I am not sure when the last time I used a floppy was, but I keep saving them just in case.  Well I decided this year it is time to let them go, but rather than just throw them in the trash I did a quick Google search for "recycle floppy disks" to find the best way to dispose of them.  What I found was a bunch of great ideas of how to finally put them back to work.  Here are the best recycled floppy projects I found…

1. The Floppy Disk Bag.  You can see the whole tutorial on making it at Instructables.com:

2.  A Floppy Tote Bag from Instructables.com:

3.  A Mosaic Mural:

4.  A Floppy Notebook, from livejournal.com:

5.  A Floppy Pen Caddy from Instructables.com:

6.  A Floppy Disk Combobulation from George W. Hart:

7.  Floppy Disk Coasters from James Wade:

Finally if you don’t want to keep these things around GreenDisk is a service that provides responsible and secure disposal of your floppys.
