Old VHS Tapes

The missus (no) has just started sorting out the in-laws loft, It looks like nothing has ever been thrown away. We got a fair bit off to charity and the homeless centre next to Mowbray at the weekend.

There is I reckon the best part of 200 old VHS tapes up there and I've no clue what to do with them. Do they recycle?
There's a tonne of old CD's too which we also need to shift.
 
No idea about VHS tapes but depending on your location The Bradley Lowry Foundation in Blackhall are always looking out for Books , DVDs and CD . I dropped a few boxes off last November and they were over the moon

Before you get rid of them, I would double check on the value of some them. I have read old Disney VHS Tapes (Black Diamond Disney Films such as Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast etc collectors are willing to pay up £900 per tape). Black Diamond Label of The Lion King is valued around £1500. So I would advise you go through them very carefully.
 
I tidied my loft out last summer and must have had at least 200 VHS tapes. I couldn’t be arsed so sort through them, the whole lot went straight in the wheelie bin. Definitely weren’t Disney like.

The story of black diamond VHSs being worth hundreds or thousands of pounds is manufactured hype. Yes some people will list such items at stellar prices but they are purely doing so in the hope that somebody is gullible enough to fall for it.

If you have a look through the Ebay sold prices you will get an idea of what they are really worth.
