My Mac (OS X 10.6.8) has just started rejecting any type of disk (DVD or CD). The disk will feed in but will be ejected without reading. Any suggestions?

It may just need to have dust/debris cleaned off the laser reader - same as a DVD player.
DVD player cleaner disk has a bunch of little brushes that clean the reader - thought my DVD player was failing - cleaning it fixed the problem.
Make sure you use a cleaner disk that can be used on a computers DVD/CD drive.
FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR INTERNAL SUPERDRIVE
This might help. If you haven't done so yet, try installing Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953 to see if that resolves it. Although it's not specifically for that problem, the firmware update seems to be important for making external SuperDrives work in Yosemite, and it is one step I used to get my SuperDrive to work in a USB external case when plugged into my MacBook Pro.
Please let us know either way, whether the firmware update helps or not in your situation
