Your shredding vendor might appreciate keeping the CD's separate. The reason is that shredding them with the paper degrades the quality of recycled paper, and they can realize less money. Simply putting them into a separate box for them should be sufficient.

Most commercial shredding outfits can handle CD's and floppies as easy as
paper without having to.....pulverize them. The reason you get push back
from a vendor is because it cuts in on their back end profit for having to
sort out the non-paper material before the shredded stuff is sold on the
commodities market. I would continue to use the same vendor and just toss
in the digital media in with the paper. If they catch you, play dumb.
I would definitely not purchase an additional piece of equipment just for
cd's and/or floppies.
