      I don't know that microwaving burned CDs works.

      May I recommend having a day of fun with a Dremel? http://www.powerlabs.org/cdexplode.htm

          Break, dispose of pieces on multiple locations.

              Surely the old-fashioned spy's way - chew into small pieces and swallow

                I usually scratch the hell out of them with an old key or knifeand then write over them with a permanent market though I do not have much info of importance to back up.

                          I had my 3 year old render a couple useless by biting them!

                          you can rent her if you like.

                              Lucky she's got spare teeth at that age.

                              I don't know why but I suddenly have an urge of finding useless CDs and testing various methods of disposal on them

                                You guys are great!

                                I like the extreme dremel, but I used what GT40 said.
                                I have a 17month old girl and a four year old girl, I gave them the cd's after lunch and we went downstairs. they went at them for a good two hours before they got bored, man did I ever have an easy day with them. Best two hours of rest (but not peace and quiet) I had for a while. And they did some neat things with them. Beside stacking them, flinging them spinning them...they got a pencil placed it through the hole and used it as a roller and cutter for their playdough.
                                But sersiously, I just found out that at work we have a company that takes care of all the paper shredding, and of destroying tape and cd's.
                                I wonder what they do
