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.

RIP Floppy Disks. At least we can put you to some good use

Thank you very much! This works perfectly for my site, and I’ve made a few small changes that reflect it well.
