I have a large quantity of Digibeta and Beta SP tapes of various lengths that need to be disposed of. I was wondering if anyone knows of a buy-back/recycling program that would accept this type of media so we don't have to just throw it away.

It depends if you want the pictures to be 4:3 or 16:9.
For 16:9 and if you want to do it in FCP then create an SD 720x576 ProRes 422 (upper field) sequence and make sure the anamorphic flag is ticked in the sequence settings.

DigiBeta is SD not HD, and you don't export.
You will "print to tape"
You fail to mention you i/o card.

If you do, chances are you can down convert on the fly. In other words layoff to tape from the sequence sendi | | | | |
