Now we’re struggling to figure out what to do with them as the chunky boxes of plastic sit around in basements and closets, gathering dust and degrading, the information stored on their magnetic stripes slowly escaping its bonds. Transfer you old memories and films onto a DVD or CD. <a href="http://www.dvdmakers.com.au/vhs-to-dvd-transfer/" rel="nofollow">VHS to DVD Transfer</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987913119037579207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824319701176485167.post-87502322434727038182014-04-10T20:09:48.968-05:002014-04-10T20:09:48.968-05:00Thank you for the tips on recycling.

I think part of the problem with getting people to recycle is that a majority of people do not know where to recycle items. For example, old batteries (non-rechargeable). I have asked multiple people what to do with them and they tell me to just throw them out. Plus, some of the places where you have to take specialty items are far away. I live in a very rural area where the closest place to recycle specialty items is close to 30 minutes away. Everything we know that we can recycle, we do. But I bet there is more that I am throwing away that I could recycle!<br /><br />Erin K.

I am surprised by the VHS tapes, while ancient {as my kids call them} we also still use ours in our still functioning-very heavy VCR. They have outlast the "indestructible" DVD's by far! We are lucky enough to live near the county Environmental Center, where we can drop off stuff like that and also pick up stuff that people no longer wanted.
