ABSTRACT:
A novel reusable container in combination with tie rope securement means comprised of a rectangular box or receptacle defining a pair of generally V-shaped cutouts in first and second adjacent vertical side walls and tie rope dispensing means associated with the third and fourth vertical side walls of said rectangular receptacle. One or more tie ropes of suitable length are dispensed from said dispensing means and draped across the bottom of the receptacle and oriented such that the free ends of said ropes protrude through the V-shaped cutouts. Newspapers are then stacked on top of the tie rope until the height of the stack reaches the upper edge of the container or any other desired height. The free ends of the tie ropes or the like are then tensioned tightly around the bundle and twisted or knotted securely about one another such that a uniform bundle is formed. The bundle may then be removed from the container and transported to a recycling collection site or stored without risk of the securement means becoming loose or broken. The now empty cardboard container is then available for similarly collecting another set of newspapers. The pair of tie ropes are dispensed and oriented at right angles to each other across the bottom panel of the receptacle across the length dimension and the width dimension, respectively, with the free ends thereof disposed through said cutouts during stacking.
