place one in a suitable sized bowl, stack several more bowls on top to put pressure on it.. Pup in the oven at about 170 for a while. The disc once cool should have a nice dish shape at the edges. Voila - perfect frisbee...
I could erase CDs with a tesla coil,Result totaly transparent disk of plastic.
Seriously though how about a garden waste shredder.

If no one has mentioned it yet, few sec in microwave will do the trick and give a nice little light show.
Jig saw will mangle it nicely.
Thank goodness for CD-R. I am careful with my PC data so had a backup drive with everything duplicated to it. I copied some of it to CD-R to be double sure.
Then my Windows went corrupted so I had to reinstall it.
To my absolute horror not only did Windows format my main drive but also the back up drive ! I had some CD-R's with most of my stuff on it but not everything.
Some of my precious old projects were lost.
SO now I still have two drives but flash drives and DVD-R's too.
I also have an old laptop for further backups.
In case of fire I keep a copy in the car too.

I’ve done that. Lived in wildfire country at the time.
Live in a city now with two fire stations about two or three minutes away. They’ve put out fires in a couple neighborhood homes with minimal damage over the years I’ve lived here...so don’t think/plan much about fire these days other than a couple fire extinguishers in the house.
Microwave oven.
Or.. maybe soak them in some acetone. Or Phenol. Or other solvents to melt the plastic off the foil.
