I've got a bunch of old ones, and I'm curious if they can be recycled with the plastic. Probably not, but worth asking anyhow.

No for a number of reasons.
The tape itself contains metal
There are metal component in the tapes.
Good to be environmentally friendly, but not this time.

You could always sell them to a used video store or a half priced books. Then they will be re-used and you make a little money in the meantime. If neither of those is an option consider donating them to a thrift store or shelter.

Yes. Crank them open and remove the film, which cannot be recycled. Then you can recycle the rest. Good luck =)

No, there is no triangle symbol on them indicating what type of plastic they are and that they can be recycled.
