Hello
I found someone local who took the microfilm and fiche at no charge because we were so close by. It required going through the list of plastic recyclers in our area, posting questions or sending emails to those closest to us.

While looking for answers I saw a post about a library with a small quantity that was able to send their with the film from the local hospital.

Our process is described here

Hi, Robin. 

 

We have been weeding our microforms, and unfortunately, our only option has been to toss them in the trash.  And I have no choice but to weed them pending an extensive renovation.  Our recycling center does not want them and all other entities we were able to find we would have to pay to ship them to.  If you find out about another option, please let the list know.

 

Sincerely,

 

Barbara M. Pope, MALS

Hello,

 

Do you have experience with a major weed of bound periodicals and microfiche? Where did you send your material?  Would you be willing to share with me how your process worked for you?

 

Thank you,

Robin
