We donated withdrawn microfilm to local artists and art departments
(high school and community college). They use the materials in collages.
Hope this helps!

If you can’t find a home for it, it can be recycled with
plastics or pulverized. You will probably need to contact a commercial recycler
for this.

Subject: [SERIALST] Microfiche disposal
Hello-
We have some microfiche of which we are trying to dispose
and have a couple of questions:
1) Is microfiche too hazardous to put in the landfill?
2) Can it be recycled and, if so, does anyone have any
sources for this (other than sharing it with other libraries, which we will try
to do first)?
Thanks for any advice or wisdom!
