Would your regular everyday CD discs fall into the e-scrap Hard Drive Platter category?
The common sense approach would lead one to think yes.
But. I learned many times. Common sense and High tech do not always mix well.
Here to learn like everybody else.
My evaluations are my own opinion.

CDs are mostly plastic with a very thin metal layer, so they feel more like a separate headache than platter scrap. Hard drive platters are a different animal altogether.

I don't think Boardsort will even take CD/DVD/BRs. That said, if you have the quantity there's always a chance.

Hard disk platters are typically aluminum or glass with the very thinnest of layers of precious metals that, from all I've gathered here, may not even be recovered in the processing chain Boardsort is a part of. There's that little there.

Magnetic tape and floppies are not something they take either, as far as I know.
