How can I reuse or recycle old photographic slides?
We’ve had an email from Karen, asking:
Do you have any suggestions on how I can recycle 35mm slides in wallets?
I suspect that on a crafty level, they could be used in similar ways to photo negatives and the like but as Karen is a Environment & Waste Management Officer at a university, I suspect she might have more than can easily be reused – so does anyone know if there are any ways to actually recycle them?
Any other slide-centric reuse suggestions?

Help! Boxes and boxes of family slides and slides of trips in Midwest. Most in carousels. Hate to dump, but no one in family wants them.
Hello there. Do you still have the slides? I live collecting old slides, they are fine capsules to me and helps a person to continue to live. My contact number is 941-592-4149. I’ll pay shipping costs. Thanx.

Hi Kevin, I have some old slides – how do I get them to you?
Hi Kevin, are you still interested in old slides, I have a lot from my parents, mostly scenery of England, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, Greece and Italy. They are currently loose in 2 shoe boxes. I also have about 16 grey storage boxes if you want those too. Thanks so much, Allison Trimble (based in Northern Ireland,UK)
If anyone wants some old 35mm slides I have approximately 150 to give away.
Most are just family pictures and scenery in England circa. 1980′s.

Hi Kevin my mum who lives in Durham is downsizing and has 6 boxes of slides (Kodachrome transparencies) to get rid of -mainlyscenes/landscapes: Yorkshire, County Durham/northeast, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Lake District. I’m currently with her but will be travelling back to beeston Notts tomorrow (weather permitting!) which might make it easier for me to get them to you if you are interested and able to reply before then please?
Kevin
I have boxes of old slides – my parents family photos going back to the 1950′s. Most of them are probably mountaineering, sailing, skiing, travel etc.
May I ask why you are collecting old slides and what do you do with them.
Regards
Mark

Hi Kevin
I’m going through my dad’s old slides from 1950′s to 1980s.
Covering landscapes, buildings & family from rural N.S.W. , Victoria, S.A. and W.A.
Are you interested in about 2000 slides from Australia?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
I have about 3,000+ slides I inherited from my father, and after digitizing them, I am not sure what to do with them. I feel bad throwing them away. Most are scenery shots of Death Valley, California, Glacier Park in Alberta, Canada, and many mountain pictures taken in northern California (which is where I live). Are you interested in them?
Regards,
Susan
Hello Susan
Yes, I’m very interested in your Dad’s old slides.
Sounds like your father loved taking photo’s.
I’m in England so the cost will be a fair bit, but I can pay for the postage via Paypal.
Look forward to your reply.
Regards.
Kevin
Dear Kevin, I live in London and am in the process of downsizing. We have literally hundreds of slides taken by my late stepfather, who adored nature, mainly photos taken in Greece but also in other parts of the world, such as Iceland and Jordan. Are you still an avid collector of slides? I would be thrilled if so! Kindest regards, Stammy
Hello Kevin I have 500 or so slides taken by my uncle in the 1960s and 70s of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Lake District, Durham and the northeast that I’d like to find a home/new owner for. Would you like them. I live beeston, Notts. I left a message a couple of weeks ago but wonder if you missed it?
Hi – I have hundreds of slides as my father was a photographer, all from
1950s onwards, lots of local ones, Bristol area – contact me if interested please
I have hundreds of slides. Trips to Europe as well as the Uk.
Would anyone like them?
Hello All
Yes, I’m very interested in all your old slides.
Sounds like your loved ones liked to take photo’s.
I’m in England, but I can pay for the postage via Paypal.
Please let me know if you still want to give them away.

Kevin
Thats great Kevin. Thanks
Dear Kevin, good to know you are interested in the slides. Please might I have your email address so we can organise it? Best wishes Stammy
Hi Kevin,
I have some of my late father’s many slides that he took for reference pictures as he was a keen painter. Most of them date from the 70′s and 80′s, and are of many areas around London and the UK, I-O-W, Norfolk, Thames valley. They are all very well labelled in boxes, he was very good at that! Please contact me with your details so we can arrange postage etc.
Regards,
Karen
