Years ago, I used to work at a local newspaper which still used a “guillotine cutter” (their
term, not mine). If your university has a central print shop, they would probably have one.
You might want to ask them if they could help.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [SERIALST] Does anyone have any experience using a binding cutter machine?
We are about to embark on another large scale project, weeding bound journals. If at all possible we would like to recycle as much as possible. Our University’s recycler will take the paper (without the glued spine), but not the buckram
covers and spines.
Has anyone had success using a large cutter to slice off the covers and spine, in order to recycle the paper?
And if so, any recommendations?
Does anyone have any other suggestions for recycling?
