old things and what to do with them?

[Brandi]

So I just found 3 big box's filled with vhs and cassette tapes. I don't want to just throw them in the trash to sit in a land fill anyone have any idea what to do with them?

Ideas:

Our local public radio station has an annual music/video sale and is always looking for donations.

I donated over 700 vinyl albums to a local community radio station

Craig's list ( super cheap or free) or Freecycle

A few years ago I looked for a way to recycle VCR and cassette tapes and found nothing reasonable -- just one company in California that I would have had to ship them all too.

I think I donated the pre-recorded VCR tapes to Good Will. Most of what I had consisted of movies and songs I recorded onto blank tapes, and I threw them out.

I like Mimi's idea. You could donate them to a local art program for kids or seniors.

The elementary school where I worked only had one working VHS player, so all those VHS tapes never went to use. When the library cleaned house and got rid of them, some of them went to the science teacher and the others went to the aftercare program, but I seriously doubt any of them have been watched. Well, maybe one or two by the science classes.
