Hi:
Chris from the Center for the Development of Recycling researched markets
for old VHS tape cartidges for me. And at the present time in Silicon Valley, it
seems one must pay a fee for service to get them into the recycling
stream.
Now I know I've been a bit out of the day to day but I thought that there
was a premium on recyled plastics so i just wanted to hear about any trend in
CA, the SF Bay Area and the US regarding vhs tapes and other media related
recycling markets.
Thanks,
Ann Schneider

I am getting rid of video tapes that I used to use in my courses on gargabe
and recyling so they include promo's on recycling equipment, psa's, old news
reports on recycling., etc.

See this article from Grist (2004): http://www.grist.org/advice/ask/2004/06/17/umbra-film/ also. They mention GreenDisk in there and that they deGauss tapes and send them out for surveillance/security tapes. However, I went to their site and they don’t say anything about this anymore. So I sent an email to see if this service is kaput. Hopefully I’ll at least get an intelligent response (like, no one uses VHS anymore). Will report back.

I believe www.greendisk.com takes VHS tapes but
again a fee is charged.
