I found a use for all the jewel boxes I don't want.  I work as I.T. and never have enough boxes for people when they burn CD's.  So I brought the ones I don't want to work and they get used there.

I had the same problem, not wanting to throw out my jewel cases, but I found a list of places you can mail them in to be reused:

Am about to try a shipment to CD Recycling Center in Salem, NH (USA). Haven't used them yet, but they seem like a viable outfit. They'll take CD and DVDs and their jewel cases and will
a) reuse cases that are in good shape by selling them
b) grind up the disks and recover the gold and other metals for reuse,
b) grind up broken jewel cases and the non-metal parts of the disks for downcycling into durable goods (yes, shipped to China, but their "why would someone pay $12,000 to ship something to China and dump it" argument on what happens to the pastics makes sense.

this company called Polysource Inc I think, this is a local Southern California CD recycling company that recycles CDs,DVDs,and jewel cases and offer free pickup service if there is alot. I believe they also ship these material to a foreign country to be recycled and reused.

Saw this and thought it was neet - cd mural. I've got a huge stack of jewel cases after moving my collection to my new cd cases.

I'm waiting on a print of a photo I sent to flickr to come, but I'll post a picture when its done.
