At $7/box for disposal by GreenDisk, it would behoove me to talk to my
local recycling folks. Our city curbside recycling has strict limits
on what it will handle. The volunteer service has more liberal
guidelines, and the time has come to find out how liberal those
guidelines are ... elsewise, these boxes of VHS tapes are going to go
into a corner of my garage, to be dealt with by my heirs in the
distant future ... along with all the printers, scanners, monitors and
cpus I can't afford to pay to have recycled at this time.
