As Blu-ray, and digital downloads replace the video tapes of yesteryear, you’re probably wondering what to do with all that old media bulging out of your home entertainment center, or media cabinet.  Before you give up and toss it all in the trash, read below for some recycling tips for old electronics, cassette tapes, CDs, and video tapes.  Isn’t it time to give up those old “Mork & Mindy” Betamax tapes anyway?

GreenDisk:  For $6.95, this electronics recycling center will take up to 20 pounds of electronics or related media.  If you have more than 20 lbs, its 30 cents extra per pound.  Pack everything up in a box, estimate the weight, and visit the site to purchase a mailing label.

ACT:  Alternative Community training is a non-profit agency that provides jobs for people with disabilities.  They’ll erase your old tapes and repackage them to be used again.

Craigslist:  You know someone wants your stuff, but you just have to find them.  Post for free on Craigslist and watch your stuff disappear.

Our Earth: This site offers a nationwide search directory for recycling programs.
