Recycling/re-purposing VHS tapes

Not sure if this thread has been done. But Ive been looking around wondering what do do with all my old VHS's, couple of 100 of them-dont want them to go into landfill.
Ive re-used all the hard plastic cases to keep craft items in, very handy, but thats it.
The tape inside is not really safe to handle so cant be used instead of string. The tapes themselves are the problem. Aside from somehow using the tapes as bricks for building something [like the buildings made of plastic bottles] I cant think what to do with them.
Anyone?

Couple of months late, I realise, but this website is great for advising what can and cannot be recycled, and offering suggestions for those that can't.

I managed to give a big box of videos away on freegle. Oddly enough, the person wanted them posted and was happy to pay the postage costs of £12! I was just glad to get rid of them
