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

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:
