What to do with a bunch of vhs tapes (self.asklemmy)

Was cleaning out my storage shed and found a bunch of vhs movies (no home movies) in questionable state. Is there anything worth doing or should I dump them (think they can be recycled)? Before it's said, I don't think they're worth digitalizing imo.

People even want to make an archive of TV commercials, don't undersell what you have. You might have the only known copy of a particular commercial that somebody wants. Check out sites like my80stv.com to see one of the ways archived old commercials are used.
