FREE ringbinders

[Sue]

Six free ringbinders in good condition (see attached photo).

I also have a Q-Connect expanding A-Z file with slight tears on the corners of the cover (sellotaped up) if anyone wants that.

Might a school be able to make use of these? I really don't want them to go to landfill :(

[Sue]

Still available due to non collection.

[Sue]

If nobody wants these, are there any suggestions what I can do with them? I don't want to bin them!

The hospice shop doesn't want them, and they are all in good condition, some unused.

When you say 'bin' are you thinking of all colours? They look as if they're mainly board. If so, they might well be deconstructable to the point of high blue-binnability. My successes in this field to date include a host of metal-and-foil-and-cardboard powdered milk drums and some books, including a heftily bound volume of Halsbury's Statutes.

I bet the recycling centre was pleased to deal with Halsbury's Statues :))

Yes, they are mainly board, I will attempt to remove the metal bits and put those in the bin separately.

I may try Gumtree or Freecycle first.

I am beginning to feel like one of those people who still sticks invoices/receipts on metal spikes. Lost in the Dark Ages.

I do still use ringbinders for some things, but I have nice bright orange and bright green ones now :))

Last call for my very lovely ringbinders, before they very probably get taken apart and used as paths on my allotment :))

Go on go on go on, you know you want them! I've added more!! There's a pink one!!!

It was a tasty collection, from Betting & Gaming to Cemeteries and more.

You may find the sheet covering the board, whether plastic or quasi-papery composite, can be peeled off fairly easily once you get purchase on it. I find a Stanley knife is useful.

On one of my walks I've seen a box of unwanted ring binders sitting outside someone's house for weeks. It doesn't seem to be a buoyant market.
