Why should video tapes be stored away from magnets and magnetic devices?
Video tapes must be stored away from magnets and other magnetic devices so as not to change the magnetic fields on the small portions of the tape. A magnet or magnetic devices placed near video tapes may be corrupted or data may be deleted.
Why keeping video tapes near a powerful magnet may be a bad idea?
the magnetic field will degauss the tape and cause degradation or destruction of stored information.
Would you keep a magnet in the same drawer as you keep tape?
Tapes depend on their magnetic properties to hold the data loaded, so storing a magnet next to them could well upset the information on the tapes
Would you keep a magnet in the same drawer as your tapes?
Absolutely, definately. I can think of no better idea than keeping magnets in the same drawer as tapes. Did I mention that my sellotape and gaffer tape collection is vast?

Are audio and video tapes toxic waste?
Most audio and visual recording tapes, such as those that are found in video cassettes and audio tapes, are not generally toxic. All that the tape contains is a plastic/polymer embedded with a metallic substance that aligns with magnetic fields and stays that way after the magnetic field has passed. The reading device can interpret this alignment of particles and translate it into an audio/visual output signal. This is also why if you run a magnet over the tape, it will be degaussed (erased).
My friend has a lot of old video and music tapes and harddrives that he would like to get rid of so where can he deliver these old media tapes for safe destruction?
