Recycling options for vinyl (PVC) plastics are limited. There are no companies that specialize in taking large loads of vinyl, such records, and using them to manufacture new vinyl products.
However, there are a lot of reuse options.
The
Salvation Army,
Goodwill, thrift stores, and some music stores accept and sell used vinyl 45's and albums.
Freecycle Boston and
Craigslist often has people interest in taking, and reusing, records.
There is also a reuse market for album covers and records for various
arts and crafts projects uses such as bowls, clocks, handbags, and more. You can do an
Internet search for these artists and see if they are interested in taking your records/covers or make the items yourself.
You may find more reuse options by doing some additional online research.
Ultimately, we would encourage you to find a reuse channel for your records.
