How can I recycle my vhs tapes?

[schroeder]

I've sent all the prerecorded ones to the charity shop, but what to do with all the blank ones?

There are companies which take them for recycling but I think you have to post them or something which wouldn't be worth it

Last time I looked, couldn't even find anyone who would take them to post. So still have 100s of the things. Someone on Freecycle might want a few?

recyclethis.com

This is the most recent one I could find. Using them as foundation filling for houses is probably a good idea (as long as they wouldn't leach toxins into the ground???)

Rip all the tape out them and crochet it into shopping bags!

Hi Schroeder,

It might be a little late to give you an answer but we have a number of ways how you can look to reuse and recycle VHS tapes here:
