VHS tapes, like all electronics are going the way of the dinosaur. What is the best way to donate\/recycle these dinosaurs? Here are several ideas that might help you. <\/p>\n

1. Some Thrift stores are still taking VHS tapes…..most libraries are not.<\/p>\n

2. Use an e-recycler, like GREEN DISK<\/a>, who does recycling of all kinds of techno trash. <\/p>\n

3. Ask a teacher or daycare provider if they would like them.<\/p>\n

4. Post the tapes on FREECYCLE.ORG<\/a> and see if there is someone else that wants them.<\/p>\n

5. Send your tapes to ACTSERVICES.ORG<\/a>. This program provides services to individuals with disabilities. <\/p>\n

6. Check out my Pinterest page<\/a> for creative ways to recycle VHS tapes. Here are just two examples…..these people are way more creative than I am!<\/span><\/p>\n
