In an effort to create more storage space, we've been working on a project to remove all of our DVDs from their plastic cases and store them in binder sleeves instead. I did all of the Disney Amination and was APPALLED at the amount of advertising extras that were included in each package. I generated loads of trash just from that one segment of our collection.

Speaking of which.......we have a TON of DVD boxes to get rid of. I remember reading here (?) that they were recyclable somewhere. Anyone have a better memory that i do?

How have you been storing your DVDs? I've been interested in getting DiscSox, but they seem expensive (esp when buying over 1000 in one shot).

I ended up getting these. I bought several - well LOTS - of boxes of 10 sheets which hold 2 DVDs each. Then, because I wanted it to be pretty as well as functional, I bough some attractive binders to put the sheets in. We're not completely done yet, but so far it's great. And the ROOM it frees up!!!!!

We ditched the boxes earlier this year, and it's been terrific. We really appreciate the extra space.

We have a couple of these babies.

Actually, we take those at the library. We always need replacements for the DVD cases which die pretty quickly in circulation. I bet your local branch would be happy to have them!
