Hey folks,
Long-time lurker here. My grandmother recently moved out of her house of 30+ years and into an assisted living center. She has a hundreds of VHS tapes around the house. She got a big dish in the 80s and when VHS machines came out she basically recorded movies off the movie channels just about everyday. Anyway, I'm wondering what I can to do with all these tapes because I do not want to throw them into a landfill.
I think I have an answer, but I need to check with them. e-mail me next week at recyclemichael@yahoo.com
The tapes can be eraced and re-used, or they can be donated to a thrift store.
Those are terrible solutions. Don't waste your time trying to record over them and donating homemade tapes to a thrift store would guarantee they would be thrown away.
Don't listen to sauerkraut.
He means well, but is kind of the special Olympics of posters on this forum.
Speaking of VHS tapes.
I'm in the middle of a move and came across my own box of obsolescence.
Help me RecycleMichael. You're my only hope.

Do you know how small? Seriously, my father recorded several years of AM Weather on PBS. Hoss, if you or anyone can use them, they are yours.

Just called Greenstar...
sounds like they just deal in large scale commercial sources.... and they send the VHS tapes somewhere to burn em.
They told me to try the MET :)
They also told me to try S&S metals... I haven't called them yet

When I think of S & S metals I think of a 6' 100# twitchy guy driving a clapped out Chevy S-10 with a bed full of air conditioning parts and copper wire.
