Baz, I was watching "Clutter nutters" the other morning and this exact point came up. Apparently videotapes are very difficult to recycle. Not many places accept them as they are made up of so many different components.

this place will accept them but how you get them there I don't know. Can you smuggle them through the post

I wouldn't have thought there would be anything recycleable in a cassette?

maybe the tape inside is toxic.
