Kitty, we have loads of old videos of TV shows and films we recorded years ago and one by one my hubby is transferring them to DVD, but its going to take quite a while sorting out the gems from the rubbish before the job is finished. We love to see the old shows/films and the adverts during the breaks are just vintage. We're just a very nostalgic kinda family and we pay the price for that by having to live with clutter!

But if you don't want to do that have a look at these links:

I offer them with my tongue firmly in my cheek - sometimes recycling can just go too far, but maybe other JTers would disagree with me!!

You can also offer them here on JT or donate to charity shops but when I last visited a few of these shops they had tons of them.

there is over 100 of them, don't want to see them going in bin, does any recycling company collect them. Thanks ticktock for link but charity shop has asked me to find way to recycle.
