How Did You Get Rid of Your Bound Volumes? (page 3)

Threw them in the dumpster two years ago when hubby wasn't looking. They were in several boxes in the garage, mouldering and full of nasty spiders.

A giant dumpster inherited mine. Every now and then I will find another one.

It too joins its brothers in the dumpster.

Pure garbage.

Got rid of them in spurts over the last 18 months. Last to go - three weeks ago was the "Proclaimers" "OD" and "Big NWT". I still have my Concordance, small NWT and Diaglot...probably heave them eventually. Or wait till the Smurfs take them.

I sold my set of bound volumes to a JW for $150. He must have found them helpful as he made elder the following year.

Why burn the bound volumes when you can sell them and recoup some of your original investment.

Paralipomenon

I still have mine. So far their weight has been their biggest obstacle to my disposing of them.

I was using them to start my fires in the woodstove until my wife recycled them They were great for starting a fire, the paper burned really nice and they were bound so no mess but now I have to save flyers which is just a pain and a mess I should actually seek out JW and ask for their old volumes as they were very handy - the only good thing about them

I'm not proud of this but I'll confess. I was angry because I felt I was disfellowshipped unjustly so I took 20 years of bound volumes and ripped them to shreds. That night I took them to the Kingdom Hall and dumped them in front of the door in a big pile. I'm sure when they arrived the next day the loose pages were blowing all over the neighborhood.

Mine ended up in the dumpster. I put it all in a garbage bag, exposed to a nice rainy night, and left them in the bottom of the dumpster to get soaking wet.

Another good idea is a chipper/shredder, if you have access to one. If you have one that will accept materials that are around 25 cm, you can feed them to the chipper/shredder.

I tried burning mine, pored petrol on them, but to no avail, must of had demons in them

I sent them to the recyclers in 2001

E S:

When I started my "fade" 11 years ago, I had a nosey JW landlord who would have seen if I threw them away. So, I had no choice but to take them with me a little at a time and dispose of them elsewhere. I did this with most of the litter-ature as I could no longer stand the sight of it being in my home once the whole charade was exposed.
