good for lighting a fire in a not very environmental fashion

If you have means to play them and will watch them, why bin them? If they're gathering dust never to be watched again, give them to a charity shop. They might raise a couple of quid.

Seriously?
I'd be surprised if a charity shop would want video tapes
mate sold a video player for £25 the other day!
I took a black bin liner full of vids to a local charity shop and they seemed cheesed off that I thought they'd want them!
I took mine to a charity shop and they wouldn't take them. There were box sets in there I paid £80 a pop for too. Took 'em to the tip in the end.
Amusingly, when I got to the huge skip they have, it was empty save for a large pile of grot in the far corner. Big stack of magazines and DVDs. Guess the charity shop didn't want those either.
Oh,
At the tip, there's a sign saying they'll take any bric-a-brac. I offered the cassettes to the staff there and got a 'no thanks'.
Assuming you've already ripped them onto a hard drive somewhere...
Send them here for recycling http://www.ems-europe.co.uk/services/domestic-tape-disc/
My local Oxfam took a couple of hundred videos from me. They said they could send them for recycling if they couldn't sell them. I don't think many other charity shops take them though.
VHS is not completely dead.

Bet that's good for converting them VHSes to DVDs. I want.
I miss a lot of the neat things about VHS,if you ejected a tape part watched when you fired up the\ player and put the rtape back in it was where you stopped it!.It seems with most DVD players to take a fair wait to get back to where you were
