If you wish to explore your compressor pressure switch, and I do recommend that you make yourself familiar with what is inside, make sure first that the compressor power supply is unplugged then go ahead, remove the cover. You want to be sure the power is off as there are live power connections inside the lid.
Discs are sometimes collected at some local recycling centres. To find out where your nearest recycling facilities are, use our handy Recycling Locator tool. Check local CD/DVD recycling. VHS tapes and cassettes are now rarely accepted at recycling centres and are generally sent to landfill. A company called Tip Top Media currently accepts old tapes for disposal but there may be a charge for this so please contact them for more information.
For those that are replacing a VCR and want a DVD recorder, a DVD recorder/VHS VCR combo option gives you the best of the old and the new (as long as they are available). You can use these units to play DVDs and VHS tapes, as well as record or copy homemade recordings (such as camcorder tapes, TV recordings, etc).
