Meghann,
I used GreenDisk a couple of years ago and was pleased with their service. I 
had two medium sized U-Haul boxes of VHS tapes, and the process for sending 
them was easy. The only hard part on our end was determining exactly how heavy 
the boxes were. We had a few pounds in excess of their limit for the base price 
in both boxes. Once we determined the weight, using their website to pay for 
shipping was a breeze. Their customer service folks were very nice and helpful. 
Would do business with them again if I had more VHS to discard. I think they 
take CDs/DVDs as well. Good luck.

Thanks,
Gail

Hello All,

I'm interested to hear about VHS recycling services -- a colleague mentioned 
using GreenDisk; I thought I'd see if any others have had favorable (or 
unfavorable, for that matter) experiences with VHS recyclers.
Thanks in advance,
