Storage Space
Storage is always a question when storing a large collection of analog media, like VHS tapes. Many people choose to digitize for this exact reason.

Always remember to store your VHS tapes in a cool, dry environment to prevent the accumulation of mold and mildew.

Check online for prices, and you might just find that you have a gold mine of VHS tapes.
Recycling VHS Tapes
Many people choose to toss their VHS tapes when they have the digitized files. However, it’s wise to take some precautions. For example, be sure to upload your VHS tape footage from your flash drive to your cloud page. It’s always good to keep your VHS tape footage in multiple places. Then, you can feel more confident about recycling. It’s always best to recycle your VHS tapes, and throwing them out in the garbage can should be avoided.
