They don't want it in a binder, let alone 3 binders. Tips for assembling applications (which clearly say no binders...) can be found here:

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-and-fees/general-tips-assembling-applications-mailing

Where you file can be found here:

http://www.uscis.gov/i-485-addresses

You are probably going to be sending it to Chicago.

**EDIT: Here is cover page info from the guides:

"Cover Page" Information:
In the checklist above it is recommended that you include a Cover Page with your application. While this is optional, filing a cover page will help the USCIS understand what benefit your are applying for and specifically what items you have included in your package. Again, make sure the cover page includes:

-- the applicants contact information (name, address, phone number)
-- A description of the benefit you are applying for, (Immediate Relative (Spouse) Family Based Adjustment of Status Application)
-- A table of contents listing the major items in your package (i.e. I-485 and evidence, I-765, I-131, etc)
-- A line with the applicants signature and date
