I am trying to recycle a large amount of old VHS tapes but the charity shops won't take them because they can't sell them and not all the recycling places will take them either.


If anyone has got any advice of where to take them or if anyone collects old VHS TV box sets I would be grateful if you could let me know

I do know someone locally who shifted a lot of VHS tapes on either e-bay or gumtree (sorry, can't remember which) - but he did have to list (by title or category - bit of a bore) the tapes he had. If you just want to avoid waste (throwing stuff away which might be re-used) then setting a very low per tape price and requiring collection should help here.

If you've got a VHS of Zefirelli's over the top movie of La Traviata (early eighties), I'll buy it off you.


Long shot I know.


I binned mine because I couldn't watch the tragic ending, and now - being made of sterner stuff - find it's not available on DVD for less than around fifty quid :(

It is hard to avoid. Even if you can get rid of tapes you bought there are still the originally blank ones to consider. No one is going to want those.

    • I know,  absolutely crazy.  A dog has never died because it didn't have a walk, but dogs do die if walked in this heat. Perhaps the owners should put on a thick fur coat, take their shoes off and jog round the pavements, and see how that feels! 🤬
    • I bought myself a litter picker from Amazon and do go round and pick up . No one else does. I guess they just don't have the time what with job obligations and kids etc. Question. ...should we pay more council tax in return for a better service? This debate could go on forever.
    • Walking around ED at lunchtime shocked at the amount of owners walking their dogs. Do they not realise  they are risking their dogs life by doing this?
    • I do know that the bin men are tasked to empty the relevant bin to their round and to move on, so street collection bags won't be covered by them. They are given quite demanding routes daily which they have to cover. Street sweeper bag collections I think are done by those lorries with cages.
