Hi,

It took me a while to update my records, but this is what I know about
audio tape and video tape recycling:

Eco Disk
5640 S. Durango
Tacoma, WA
253-471-1800

Eco Disk will take audio tapes. There is a fee.

Eco Media
917 E Katella Avenue
Anaheim, CA 92805
800-359-4601

Eco Media will take various kinds of video tapes: MII, Beat SP, DSHVS,
DVCAM, HI-8, Beta Digital, Mini DV, DVC PRO, 3/4 inch, SVHS, DIII, Beta
Six. They have minimum quantity requirements.

There is 2 other avenues that I just got wind of -- but have not
researched as I have no audio tapes to recycle at this time, but someone
may want to follow the leads:

The State of Claifornia requres that textbooks be recorded for college
students with dissabilities. I know a woman who reads for the program,
she says they reuse tapes all the time. A regional coordinator for the
program in Fresno is Rosslyn Hoh (sp?), 559-278-2811.

There is also an organization called Services for the Blind OR Books for
the Blind that may need tapes.

Good luck.
