    Hi,

    Does anyone know where i could recycle the old VHS** tapes?
    seems a bit of a waste to just dump them straight out.


    ** I'm talking about all the old blank tapes that you'd record stuff on, NOT official films in their boxes etc. so they wouldn't be shifted on the likes of Adverts or Jumbletown.
    .
    Cheers

    Drop them into a charity shop; they might be interested.

    Just to resurrect this thread....

    Is there any interest for old prerecorded tapes that might be in good order? Any point offering a few dozen on 'freetrade' ?

    Try your local nursing homes, some of these places still have VHS players, and might be glad of the change.. depending on what you have of course.

    I volunteer in a Charity Shop..

    Proper Film VHS tapes sell for 50c each or 3 for €1

    Any pre-recorded ones we just have to bin, there is no facility that I've heard of for re cycling these.

    We often get peoples' wedding videos :rolleyes:

    Anyway even if there was a good movie recorded on them, in our shop we wouldn't sell them because thats the same as selling dodgy CDs and PS games etc. Piracy laws and all that..

    So my advice is unfortunately you'll probably have to dump the pre recorded ones.

    Most Charity Shops will take VHS films.

    Hope this helps :)
