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.

    • No, he was utterly un-electable. Any sensible, non-Momentum, Labour member knew this. Corbyn likes to blame the press but that is the far-left modus operandi - find someone else to blame when the problem lies at your doorstep. I know someone who was on his team and they convinced themselves that they had won on the basis of social media. He was a disaster for the party and only Covid and the incompetence of the Tories allowed Labour to recover. Corbyn was on Newsnight last night clearly putting himself back on the circuit in the hope of a Starmer downfall.  This is why Labour HQ does not want McAsh leading the council - they are trying to purge the party of the far-left due to the damage they have done to it and I believe any swing to a more far-left leadership in Labour HQ would be an unmitigated disaster and just be rolling out the red-carpet for Farage. But the far-left won't care they see another opportunity to take over after they fumbled the ball massively in 2019.
    • Unfortunately I can't get near him as he's quite scared and my cat doesn't like him.  I will see if he is more friendly if he's around when my cat isn't in the garden ,I was just hoping someone might know if he has an owner or where he's come from .
    • 100%. Many of the problems that Labour have (after 1 year in office) are down to that 14 year legacy. They have very little room for manoeuvre. UK debt is around £2.925 trillion and the costs of borrowing are rising. The government is at the mercy of the bond markets. Meanwhile many services are on their knees and people are demanding investment.
