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.
If you own a combination DVD and VCR player/recorder, it's almost painless to pop in the VHS tape and a blank DVD, press a few buttons and directly record the old tape to a shiny new DVD disc.any services offer to receive your VHS tapes by mail and return them with a DVD or Blu-ray equivalent. One example is Home Movie Depot. For around $15 per VHS tape (more for damaged tapes) they can walk you through the preparation process and help you get the tapes to them for conversion.
