“Dear PoPville,
In my effort to “Marie Kondo” my condo, I have a sizeable collection of VHS tapes to donate or dispose of. I’ve got a little bit of everything, ranging from classic films to modern movies to workout videos, all family-friendly and on VHS. I know I can’t just chuck these things in the trash, but I also can’t let them continue to clutter my shelves either.
Enter PoPville! Does anyone know of a SPECIFIC place or organization in the DC metro area (besides Goodwill) that will accept these old VHS tapes? In theory, I could see these getting a second wind in some nursing home, library, shelter, etc. — but I don’t actually know who/where to pass them along to in practice. If I can’t find a new good home for them, I at least need to know how to safely dispose of them (since you can’t just send these to trash or recycling due to the chemicals they can leach). So I’ll take ideas for environmentally-friendly disposal as well! Thanks in advance.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
