Jiffy Bags / Mailers

[Diggedy Derek]

In my job, I get a ludicrious amount of jiffy bags and mailers used to send CDs and vinyl. I reuse as many as possible, but we get sent many more than we ever need.

In the interests of recycling, is there anyone out there who could use mailing materials like this (obviously second hand) on a regular basis? We get CD mailers mostly, which I cut open at the top, but are otherwise untarnished, and with a new address label on them and some tape on the end, would look fairly OK. We also get vinyl mailers, but not many.

Some mailers are jiffy bags, some cardboard. I'd be willing to sort them in some fairly orderly manner. Anything to avoid throwing loads of them away every week.

I could do with some for future ebay action - mainly 12" ones really but I will certainly take some off you and we could maybe hang it around a beer somewhere?

i heard about something called freecycle today, like ebay but where you give everything away (people have to come and pick it up) - maybe you could offer a bunch of the mailers on there?

I could do with some as well. I assume you are in London Derek?
Where would you want them picked up from?

here it is, pretty handy, if you have stuff like furniture that charity places won't take cos if fire regs etc, (i had alot of it when i moved in here ) someone will probably want it for whatever reason, etc etc
