Decluttering... Videos

[PolkadotRosa]

Helping my parents to declutter and they've got a load of unwanted videos and cassette tapes. Dad said the charity shop won't take the videos as no one buys them. Is this the norm and would it be best to take them to the tip and recycle them? Thanks.

the YMCA charity shop near me happily takes pre-recorded videos, so look for one of those. Home recorded ones are indeed tip-fodder, as are cassettes.

I know my local charity shop does take videos but it wouldn't surprise me if most didn't. You could try Freecycling them?

We have BHF collection points (red containers) in many of the local car parks (near the clothes bank and bottle banks). They take videos - I have spent many a happy time posting cassettes in them.

In addition to the above suggetions, offer them free on facebook or freecycle.

Thanks all for your replies:)
Will try freecycle if no chazza's want them

We use casette tapes at the Riding for the Disabled group I volunteer with as CDs and the CD player get scratched by grit from the arena surface. Maybe your local group would use them.

Cursium.. That's a great idea. I'll check it out.
Thank you!

Our local Salvation Army shop still takes & sells them.
