Old vhs tapes

[Robinia]

Where are we supposed to dispose of old vhs tapes? (Only the ones that have been used to tape things on the tele, not purchased films, the local charity shop will have those)

[Ethel]

Make some snazzy bags out of them:

Or take them to the tip

[Robinia]

lol, thanks Ethel, I'll take them with me next time I go to the knitting circle :o)

[Ethel]

Really there is no other use for them, so take them to the tip.

[Robinia]

ok Ethel, I'll look for a friendly neighbour with a car who's heading that way... it's long way & a bit draughty on my boneshaker at this time of year :o)

There must be something in the water. I sorted mine yesterday and put them in the recycling plastics bin in the village. I had difficulty prising them away from mr thug even though we no longer have a video player. Are all men the same?

[Robinia]

lol thug, I wasn't sure whether they could go for recycling or not.
It's that time of year. I must admit I find it hard to clear clutter out but this year I really, really must. I start with good intentions....and by October it's all still hanging around.
Actually my ex was too good at throwing things out, he had no sentimental feelings for possessions....I did get around to throwing him out. :o)

Dump them through the letterbox at Blockbuster

apparently you could turn them into
USB hubs...
...whatever they may be.

[Robinia]

erm yes jno, thanks, very handy...I love spacechimp's idea tho' :o)
