Having just used up a ton of sand, I now have an empty one-trip poly bag.

It seems I have two options. Roll it up and put into dustbin. Or find an 
alternative use for it.

Any suggestions? It seems such a waste to chuck it.

They fit quite nicely in the car boot for chucking stuff in for the tip.

If you use one as a receptacle whilst trimming hedges and so on, it's
possible to squeeze even a fairly full one into the boot by pushing the
bottom in first and then forcing the rest through the gap - then it just
pulls out by the handles at the tip.

Ive got around 50. Elfin safety means they are no longer reusable.

I use them for just that and we used to deliver logs in them. They
don't last too long if you drag them around so I always scrounge them
from people having deliveries of sand.

Beware they lose a lot of strength after a few months in the sun.

Having been doing some major construction recently I have a lot of
them. I use them to store 'overs' from bulk deliveries of ballast,
sand, pea beach. I use them to store (and shift arround) logs. Then
tatty ones get used to gather rubbish before being plonked into the
skip (*). I even have one that is used to store about twenty other
ones!!!

(* rubbish in bulk bags packs doen VERY nicely if gently leant upon by
the back actor of a JCB 3CX <GG> )

Why don't you offer The Natural Philosopher and Andrew Mawson a few bob for 
the surplus ones they have?

Keep it for taking garden refuse, particularly tree prunings to the tip.

Liner for car boot when doing building jobs. 

Dust sheet. 

And many more.

Got loads of kites. Possibly the most commonly seen bird round here. Or 
did you mean for camera mounting? :-)

Thanks for all the suggestions - I might very well use some of them. But 
I am glad I don't have 50 to manage!

Use them as dust sheets to cover the doorways and windows when you buy an
Aldi Wall Chaser. :-)

Amsterdam but the tide didn't go out far enough ;-)
