How to Donate Cassettes

Music, audio books or sermons were at one time stored on cassette tapes, before the time of compact discs and MP3 files. Like other mediums of yesteryear, cassette tapes are tossed in boxes, stored in basements and often forgotten about. You don't have to keep storing your unwanted cassettes or throw them away. You can donate them to a charity, school or other service so someone else can enjoy them.
