Don't Dump in the Trash

Avoid dumping VHS tapes in the landfill because they are made from plastic and magnetic materials that can leach into the environment.

Ways to Reuse

Donate Old Tapes

Drop off old VHS tapes to a Goodwill, Salvation Army or St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop. Donating unwanted items like these tapes extends their lifespans.
