What to Do With Old CD Cassettes and Video Tapes


You just went through some old storage and realized you have tons of unwanted CD Cassettes or video tapes lying around. What can you do? This article reveals some ideas on what you can do with those unwanted items. Although people barely use video tapes or cassettes these days, there are plenty of ways to recycle or use them in creative ways, rather than simply throwing them into the trash can.

The first idea would be to check your local donation or thrift stores and check if they are wiling to accept your unwanted belongings. From time to time, people will definitely check out those stores to reminisce those old days when CD cassettes and video tapes were the popular trends. By donating to these stores (if they accept them), you will be giving them away for a good cause!

The second idea would be to use them as house decor. For example, you can stick many cassettes along the corridor wall to form a creative wallpaper. People would be impressed by your creativity. They can have a look at each CD and check if they have seen each one or not. Of course, this would probably require a lot of CD cassettes but it does not necessarily have to be along the corridor. You may only need a few to form fun cassette patterns in your bedroom. Your creative boundaries are limitless!

Another idea would be to turn them into an artful furniture piece. Again, this means you would need a lot of cassettes or tapes. For example, you can stack them together to form table legs. Perhaps you can also stack many CDs to form a creative flower vase. There are plenty of ideas lying around online.

If none of the above ideas work for you, please keep in mind that some of these items are not suitable for the bin. It can cause a lot of harm to the environment if they are not disposed properly. Another option would be to check out the local flea market and check if any of the vendors are willing to take your items into storage. Before you give them away, make sure you check each one. Who knows? Some of these disks or video tapes may become valuable in the near or far future.

If the video content is important, there are some ways to transfer the content from the old cassette to your computer.
