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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
