Helpful Mom

I still use VHS since I can find all my kids favorite movies for cheap but I know most everyone is switching over to DVD only, that’s why I can get my movies to cheap.  So if you are one of those that is switching over or just find your tapes are wearing out, before you toss them try recycling them.  To keep them out of landfills, drop them in the mail to Alternative Community Training, a nonprofit Missouri company that provides jobs to people with disabilities.  Workers erase the tapes, reselling the ones that are in good shape and recycling the plastic parts of the rest.  They’ve recycled more than 1 million tapes so far.  Mail the tapes (at the cheaper media mail rate) to ACT, 2200 Burlington, Columbia, MO 65202.
