Sorry, I wasn't clear in my OP. I need to get rid of several reels that are full of tape that is worn out. Just wondering if the plastic tape is recyclable - it's several pounds per reel - think how many plastic bottles that equals! (I'm in San Francisco - we recycle everything here!)
I'd be concerned about the toxic chemicals on the tape. I wouldn't want that in my water bottles. Might want to check with your local agency about it.
Just a quick follow-up. 'Researched it further. You are right sir. Magnetic tape is not recyclable due to it's chemical make-up, though it is reusable to an extent.
