I was up at the Broadway Green Alliance office today, dropping off some textiles for recycling (ie-old bed sheets) and saw the binder collection. They come in all sizes, and I mean all. In fact, they have one of the biggest binders I've ever seen!!!

It's the 3" Staples Better View Binder- easy-open D-rings, the edges and joints are reinforced with rubber, and clear insert for the front cover. I love it and will probably replace it in a few years with an identical one.

and today, the middle ring of the above binder I bought, refuses to connect all the way . . .

didn't make it two weeks.

Insert sad face.

yes, i used the button.  (although many other people touch the binder - so someone else might not have used the button).

As far as recycled binders go, I have to share the score I just made on Freecycle this weekend. Someone posted they had "several boxes" of three-ring binders of various sizes. I replied that if they were available, my nonprofit could always use them. (I didn't specify any further.) Would you believe I just picked up SIX BOXES of three-ring binders? Most in quite good shape, and quite a variety of sizes, but especially 2 1/2 to 4" ones, that Development, Accounting and Stage Management are all clamoring for, plus some smaller ones that will be good for all our one-off concert music needs.

If you turn in your old binder for a new one at Staples you can get $2 off!

Here is the link.

This might motivate me to replace some of my older binders =)
