    You give two reasons: To remove the effects of the rings from Middle-Earth and to let Frodo and Bilbo (and later Sam) heal. The latter is well-supported by the quotes; the former isn't. There is no evidence that anyone wanted to cleanse M-E of the effects of the rings. The elves left Middle-Earth because the Elven rings, which had sustained magical realms like Rivendell and Lorien, had failed when the One Ring was destroyed, their homes in M-E were gone and M-E was no longer a place they wanted to linger. Gandalf left because his mission was done and he could go home.

  • IMO, it is supported by: ... for the Third Age was over, and the Days of the Rings were passed, and an end was come of the story and song of those times... Anyway, I am not in my home now. I will check it later.

  • @Mark Oldon: I removed the part about the elves' rings. But I am pretty sure that the reasons are: To remove the ring's influence removing the bearers of the ring and at the same time to reward them for their sacrifices. On Frodo's case to heal the injury inflected by the Nazgul.
