Good afternoon,
I’ve inherited literally thousands of 35mm photographic slides (in plastic mounts, not card) that I wish to dispose of. I’m in Somerset but occasionally travel through Oxfordshire on business, so I could deliver them. Would you be interested?
Kind regards

My dad has around 1,000 music tapes. I have been trying to get rid of these by taking them to charity shops, but they do not want them anymore. I noticed your section on this website and wondered if you would take them off my hands!

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello John

I was just about to take a large quantity of video tapes to my local Cancer Research shop when I came across the Media Recycling Project. I, too, do not want to throw these tapes and their cases into the dustbin from where they will inevitably find themselves ending up in a landfill site somewhere + I saw some other comments that there are so many video tapes floating around now as people switch to DVD that there’s no guarantee the charity shops etc won’t dispose of them irresponsibly either if they can’t sell them.

I’m in South London, what do you suggest.

Best wishes

Andrew

John,

Do you have a website or anything, I have loads of friends who all have video cassettes and floopy disks etc clogging up their lofts. I was wanting to post something on Facebook to them. I heard or read further back that you would collect if there were enough cassettes so I was thinking of pooling all our cassettes and giving you the nudge!

Hello, I recycle these boxes as part of a roof I made out of Video tapes. I used them to finish of the sides of the roof. You can see some pictures here: http://www.maximalisme.be/the_chelter_of_the_dump.htm

I’ve started a MEDIA RECYCLING PROJECT in Oxfordshire because I’ve got quite a few tapes I’ve recorded over the years and I don’t want to put them into the Landfill or PAY to have them recycled – so if you live in or around Oxfordshire… drop me an e-mail! OR we can collect if you’ve got enough tapes (Within a reasonable distance or course!)

We are collecting all types of “Media” – Video & Audio tapes, Computer disks, Floppy disks, cds, dvds, reel to reel, 8mm, records, etc. to be recycled. We erase the tapes (Degauss), strip them down to separate the different types of plastics, shred them then sell the plastic to companies to make new items!

Any profit we make we will be giving back to the community

I happen to be looking to purchase anyone’s tape cassette cases as I use them to put my flyers in at cafes and shops. I have no need of the tapes though. Anyone who wants to sell me their cases in bulk, please contact me at avadinorth()googlemail.com

Give them to a thrift store. Someone probably wants your music.

If you are into a craft with lots of little pieces–say, beads, buttons, glitter–store them in the cases. Stack them so you can see the contents easily.

if you flip them on them self they can be used to hold small photos, which you can leave loose or stick on. i currently have one on my desk at work with my partner and i in the picture; but have chosen not to stick the photo, as i thought i may wish to change it at later date. this was also because i am only left with the odd couple, as the rest were donated with the cassette tapes to an organisation local to me that uses them to help the visually impaired. i found them through this site – so many thx.

use the tape to knit or crochet with them (handbag, crocheted flowers or decorations etc)
use the case for any storing thing – would do neat for an ipod case or money holder :)
