To provide a novel binding tool for waste objects such as newspapers, which solves a problem that the binding tool is loosened during binding work or takes a long time to be bound, can be fastened firmly with ease, and eliminates a trouble in recycling.
The binding tool is made of a nonflexible and bendable material, and has a cruciform portion and binding string viaholes formed on four-direction ends of the cruciform portion. When waste objects, such as old newspapers, are stacked on the cruciform portion, the viaholes are located outside the four-direction peripheral edges of the under face of stacked objects to be visually recognizable. The cruciform portion and the binding string through-holes formed on the four-direction ends are made of such a material as paper and cloth, which is opened or allowed to be opened.
