A reusable core (10) that is suitable for having paper or other sheet material wound thereon. A multi-sectioned core is provided that is easily assembled. Interlocking sections (12, 14, 18) that provide a pivot are held together by a sliding rod assembly inserted therein. One type of rod assembly (23) is preferable held into position by use of a snap ring (25) or other similar fastening arrangement. A second type of rod assembly (44) is a quick release design that can be easily pulled freee by an integral handle. By removing the quick release rod, a key arcuate section is able to pivot thus causing the enabling of the other two sections to likewise pivot inwardly, collapsing the core thereby permitting easy removal of the core from any remaining sheet material that must be discarded. The sheet mateiral is held onto the core by means of a strip of double sided tape untile the core is wound several times to keep the sheet material firmly in place.
