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 :))

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.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
