Hello all!
We have quite a few hanging file folders. (2 large boxes at the moment and more coming in all the time)
I'm wondering if anyone wants to spend time separating the metal bits from the paper bits. We could at least recycle the paper that way and the metal both.
That's the best idea I've come up with so far. If anyone is interested in this "mindless" "in front of the TV" activity or has any other uses, let me know!
If you can use a few, that's great, but gentle reminder we're looking for a larger/more sustainable use here. I've actually used them in the past for packaging flat materials for shipping. (folded over parts of the very stiff paper and stapled it to keep things from sliding around. Worked surprisingly well! Someone who ships a lot of stuff might want the paper for separating or packaging items or lining?
