ChrisL Posted March 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2022 For what to do with over 100 reams of Legal sized paper. It came back to corporate from numerous sites that didn’t need it. I was thinking a school but the thinking is nobody uses/needs legal paper. It may end up in the garbage but we’re trying to find a good home for it. Any ideas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted March 15, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 15, 2022 It's an odd size for normal use that's for sure. I've only printed a few spreadsheets on legal, but not for legal purposes. School is a good idea, they may have a use for it. It can be cut to letter sized if needed to. Hate to see it go to waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kirby Posted March 15, 2022 Popular Post Share #4 Posted March 15, 2022 I'd also recommend a school who could likely use it for drawing and practice. I'm sure a number of not for profits with a small budget could find some purpose for it. Could you return it to Dunder Miflin? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 16, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 16, 2022 I only use illegal paper so I wouldn’t have any use for it. Actually find a homeschoolers association in your area homeschoolers could use it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 16, 2022 Share #12 Posted March 16, 2022 In addition to schools, boys and girls clubs, after school programs, shelters and day care centters would likely be able to use them - anything with a program for kids and arts and crafts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted March 16, 2022 Share #18 Posted March 16, 2022 For some weird reason, we use a lot of legal sized paper. I see boxes of it arrive every month. Maybe an accounting thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted March 16, 2022 Share #26 Posted March 16, 2022 If your junior high schools are anything like mine were, you could donate the paper to the industrial arts classes. We would have chopped off pieces to make an assortment of cards and stuff like that. We also made little scratch pads of different sizes. We'd clamp the stack and glue one end. You can't have enough paper to train for menial positions in the printing industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 16, 2022 Share #30 Posted March 16, 2022 I think some schools, especially private ones, would be potentially interested. One year, I had a bunch of old chemistry books we no longer used that I was told to get rid of. Their information was still up-to-date. I wasn't supposed to do it, but I contacted a nearby Catholic High School who said they'd take them and put them in boxes, put them in my car, and quietly delivered them there myself. If they could cut them to 8 1/2 x 11 without rough edges that would jam their photocopiers they'd be ok or maybe they could get another company with great tools to do it for them. They might be able to put legal size stuff in their copiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
