ohkay Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I walk round collecting rubber bands, they re like little random presents. They are strung up all over the house (handy for diy fixes). Made a great present for my dad (Xmas and birthday) and generally hold stuff together. What's not to like? They used to be red from the the post office (I think it was to obvious, we could all tell who it was). Now they come in disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthor Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 From now on I'll post them back to the Post Office....I can't see any other reason why so many bands are strewn all over the streets. Will you bother putting them in an envelope, or just put them in the post box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintor Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Collect the band's & collect the junk mail, then bind all the band's around the junk mail & post it in either the post office letter box or any post box, two birds one stone etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty27 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi, you know the red elastic bands the postman uses for his letters.... well I have saved them over the last couple of years at my place of work, purely because I wondered if there is anywhere that recycle them (like used stamps?) I didn't want to just dump them in the rubbish!! There has to be a couple of hundred if not more.... Does anyone have a use for them or know of anywhere I could send them for recycling?? Cheers Make one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Give them to your local political activist who will use them for bundling leaflets. As rubber bands have to be paid for by said activist they will welcome them plus it's recycling albeit on a small scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I used to walk through the Post Office Depot yard at Stocksbridge, and the car park was always littered with rubber bands. I've heard that dogs can eat them and cause themselves damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohkay Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Have you tried looking at instructables.com. Loads of fun to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilldig Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Has anyone started finding tiny blue elastic bands. A lot are being found in our area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just for a giggle someone round here has been collecting rubber bands. Wasn't me I hasten to add! Anyway they filled, and I mean rammed full the post box that the posties use to stash mail for delivery. Not the one that the public drop letters in, but they have one that a van dumps sacks of mail in, and then the village postie comes, collects bags and does his rounds. So he opened it this morning and there were kilos of compressed pink rubber ejected at speed, along with a note saying pick your litter up.
