Default Other uses for spare 3-tab shingles?

Uh, again, they store outside just fine, albeit for awhile. Roofing for
twenty years, leaving bundles out in AZ sunshine for two months plus, a
cool morning, and they break up, no problem. I guess you just need to
know the technique. Early in the morning, pick up the bundle, drop one
end onto the roof/ground, put your foot upon it, and push straight
down. Bob's your uncle. Tom

Uh, not outside they don't. A month or two in the sun, and the glue spots
leak past that tiny plastic strip, and the whole stack is stuck together.
Trust me, I did construction cleanup as a kid, and getting all the crap off
the property for the landscape crew to move in was always a joy. Even full
bundles in the wrap are supposed to be stored under cover until delivered to
the work site.

OP should give them to local Habitat ReStore, if they will take them.
Otherwise, just use as expendable foot path/weed shield in garden, between
the rows. Or leave them at curb with a 'free' sign- that usually works.
