Didn't know where to put this, plumped for lifestyle in the end.

We're having a bad week, our old DVD/VHS player has stopped working (doesn't respond to any remote control commands, tried it with 2 different remotes), and then my office shredder has packed up (after about 9 years of hard service).

Now I'm planning to cart them off to the tip, but is there a better place? Both have a fair amount of high grade plastic, the DVD player must have a chip or 2, and I guess either could be repairable by someone with the time/skill to devote to it.

So, any ideas?
