One of the problems living in a digital age is that it’s never too long before the next big thing comes along rendering the last big thing obsolete. Before were we had VHS Tapes and CD’s these days UK households are equipped with Sky boxes, MP3 and DVD Players. The result being that for many of us we have mountains of unwanted and unused VHS tapes and CD’s sitting on shelves at home gathering dust.
If that sounds familiar it is now possible and very straight forward to recycle your unwanted CD’s, DVD’s or even Video tapes rather than sending them to landfill. The Laundry CD Recycling will accept any amount of CD’s or DVD’s including the plastic case and inlay cards. Polymer Recycling is another company who recycle CD’s and if you’re a business they will arrange to collect them for free too. Failing that you could always donate them to a charity shop where they’ll find a new home or for some more imaginative ideas check out these two posts on How Can I Recycle This? for plenty of suggestions on CD and VHS recycling.
Finally if you know any professional or ex-professional video documenters, another site which we came across, Creative Video Associates deals with professional video tapes and will help clear out old tape archives without sending them to landfill.
