I visited one of our local museums the other day and in the gift shop were some really interesting items made from recycled records. One is a bowl that is pressed into bowl shape from a record--it's very interesting. The other item is a set of coasters cut from the center section/label section. The company in in Philly. My wife got the coasters as a xmas gift and they'll be great in my listening room! I also like the Goodwill idea.
recyling vinyl?
What do you do to old records that are worthless to listen to due to excessive wear?
I have collected over 2000 old LPs (and those 10" prior to LPs) over the years, but half of them are neither my type nor too much worn out. Sometimes I buy in bulk and keep what I like. I've started trashing them, and yesterday about 100, and more need to be trashed.
Do you just put them in a garbage bag with other trashes so that garbage trucks can pick it up?
Do you separate the covers and inner sleeves for recycle?
Do they recycle vinyls?
Is there a place that takes old (useless) records?
