Old VHS tape disposal

Crawley

Crawley

Board Legend
Doing a major loft clearout, and found a whole box full.


Some pre-recordeds, some just blanks from taping old TV stuff.

Don't want to just dump in landfill, so what else can be done?

Nothing on them to convert to disc, and charity shops don't want them now.

Any ideas?
 
Get some sticks.. super glue the tape to the end.. and sell on ebay as bird scarers. Put plastic cases in recycle bin

The only funny spot in a bleak (but excellent) film.
 
Why get rid? i mean i've got a massive VHS collection of Wrestling PPV's from the early ninties that i will never get rid off.

Not at all.

I've got hundreds of recorded (And purchased) Wrestling PPV's and events that i will never get rid off. I don't even watch wrestling anymore but there's absolutely no way i will get rid regardless of what anyone says. My girl has asked me numerous times if i will ever get rid but i don't even bother answering her anymore..i just look at her and walk away when she asks.

Leave it, he has every right to a stash of homo erotica.

I wouldn't want one myself but I will defend to the death his right to collect it.

PS Got any Les Kellet?
 
Doesn't tape over time start to fudge up, I'm sure its 10 years and then it starts to degrade itself.. KD and Lynne you really should think about digitalizing that stuff. Out of interest do you still have VCRs

I'm actually jealous. Lost most of mine. Had a huge stack of mags as well that I gave away.

Crawley, sound obvious but have you thought about eBay or even a local car boot? There will always be someone that will take stuff off your hands, as was posted earlier.
 
I had about 30 VHS of THFC review of the seasons, individual matches etc and threw away about 10 years ago now. Gutted now.

Pensioners.
 
I got rid of a load of pre-recorded VHS tapes when I moved. Scope is about the only charity shop now that will take them.

Too many depressing games to digitize!! Yes, I do still have a VCR. I have a number of dvd's, but then the dvr machine refuse to record.
