The last time I was at the PDC store they a had a large box of used VHS
casettes of various lengths for sale at ($mumble) apiece. It may not
be the type of recycling you had in mind, but . . .

2603.3DVN Sites Might Need TapesCARTUN::FRYETue Aug 03 1993 12:3025
I have a couple of suggestions for the recycling/reuse of video tapes.
We get asked about this fairly frequently.  First, the length of the 
tape makes a difference.  Many commercially duplicated tapes are "cut to 
length", so a 20 minute program has only that much tape, whereas if you 
buy a 60 minute tape at K-Mart and record 20 minute, then you still have 
a tape capable of recording the full time length.  

If the tape is longer than 30 minutes, and especially if it is one-hour 
or longer, contact your local DVN Site Coordinator (you can find their 
names and locations in LIVEWIRE) to see if they can use them to record 
programs for local use.   Many people do not know about the record 
protection tabs that have been pulled off of commercially recorded or 
duplicated videos.  These tapes can be re-used by simply putting a piece 
of tape over that hole (a square hole at the outside edge of the housing 
where you put the label).

If you do not know of a DVN Site Coordinator who can use the tapes, you 
can contact my office and we can help.
