It only wastes tape if you send them away before they are full. There is
a debate to be had here about whether it is better to send them away
immediately or wait until they are full, and that depends on many
factors, such as the size of your environment and type of media used.
There is nothing to stop you retrieving some tapes and staging them to
use media more effectively, if you think that is worth the bother, but
tapes are cheap compared to the cost of someone's time to mess about
with this stuff, and compared to the value of the data on them.
