Here's the cheap alternative:
1. Place CD on course concrete (or equivalent) with the metallic face 
downwards.
2. Place boot on CD.
3.     Scuff CD back and forwards a couple of times.
4. Repeat until unreadable
5. Sweep up the metallic fragments and (optionally) dispose of in a separate 
receptacle to the CD.
