FAQs:
Where can I recycle VHS tapes?
There are very few places in the UK that collect and recycle VHS tapes.
However, the companies below should be able to help:
- www.thelaundry.biz You can post your old VHS, tape casettes, CDs and DVD to this company.
- www.tapesuk.co.uk that will collect VHS tapes from London only (minimum of 100 tapes). You can also post the VHS tapes to their office.
If the VHS tapes you have are in good condition you could offer them to a charity shop or through your local freecycle group. This website is like e-bay but everything is free and was introduced to encourage people to reuse household items
