We need to weed (discard) our VHS tapes. Does anyone have suggestions of what to do with them, other than discard in the trash (away from the church)?

I went to the Edwin Hodges web site and learned they are merging with Love Packages. Then I went to the Love Packages web site and they are no longer taking VHS tapes. Bad news!
My struggle is not what to do with the old VHS tapes but how to replace them. Many of them are still relevant and would be used if on DVD. It is too costly to replace all of them immediately so should we dispose of them anyway? Eventually we will buy the ones available on DVD but in the meantime we have secured some old VCR's that are still working and when someone wants something that is only on VHS we check out a VCR to them. So for now we are hanging on to some of the old technology. Don't tell anyone but we still use typewriters for some functions.
Thank you, Eva Nell, for your response. Good suggestion! I am familiar with the Edwin Hodges Ministry. We save our Sunday School literature each quarter for this ministry. A representative comes to our church to pick it up, so it will work out well to have them pick up the tapes.
I have attended the conference at Central in the past, so I know it is worthwhile. I will keep it in mind. You have a wonderful Church Library Ministry at Central!
