I’ve started gathering the piles of discs, stacks of cases, and boxes full of DVDs from around the house and sorting them into CD binder pages.
Some movies are set aside to donate to the thrift store (that benefits our local hospice); the empty cases will be listed on FreeCycle; and other discs are boxed up to return to friends.
All the discs are being stored in a nondescript, PVC-free 3-ring binder containing one set of CD binder pages:
I find the process of moving the DVDs to be slow going, yet gratifying. (Thankfully I have a little helper! “Many hands make light work.”) I anticipate fewer scratched disks and no more piles of discs scattered throughout the house. And, oh, the space — I have a whole shelf to fill!
And about 100 more DVDs to move over. Where’s my daughter?! I need some help.
We can’t seem to keep a DVD unscratched over here, so whenever anyone gives us one (I can’t bring myself to buy ’em anymore w/ all the scratching) I upload it to my computer, strip DRM or whatever it’s called and then I can burn a new copy when that one gets scratched. Or play it through my iPod or Kindle Fire. Woot!
Jessica: Brilliant! I love it!
What size binder did you use? I had all the zipper DVD storage cases, and this is exactly what I’m looking for. That way I can put an insert in the outside of the case to, that way my kids know what binders are theres. Tx, Amy
Amy: Here’s a link to the 3″ 3-ring binder that we used: http://www.staples.com/3-Avery-Heavy-Duty-View-Binder-with-One-Touch-EZD-Rings-Black/product_318410
Good luck!
Thank You!
