Can it be recycled?

Where to recycle video tapes

Your local recycling centre won’t accept videos for recycling and they can’t be collected as part of your local authority’s kerbside schemes.

What can I do with them?

Some commerical organisations will recycle them for you:

Donating your video cassettes

You might not use your video cassettes any more, but why not donate them?

  • Charity shops will accept donations of commercial videos. They may also accept used recordable videotapes.
  • Try donating to local libraries and schools, or try re-selling your videos to secondhand dealers or online.

Get your video cassettes cleaned for re-use

  • Creative Video Associates are a commercial company who will erase, clean and return your old videotapes in pristine condition for reuse.
