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.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
