what to do with it? Got four 75 lb. bags in my pickup truck left over
from winter. No use for it. Any ideas besides throwing it in the trash
bin @ the dump? Am starting to use truck regularly and don't want to
rip bags/ make mess and the extra weight can't help mileage... but now
while I have no use for them I also have no place to store until next
winter where the plastic won't degrade in the sun and/or be at risk of
being ripped.

Trying to think of some way to get rid of them, but new are so cheap
that I'm thinking that most people that *need* sand just go to stoneyard
and buy it...

Give them away on Freecycle? Give them away on Craig's list? When
your block has a yard sale, give them away then?

Put a note on your work or church bulletin board or newsletter?

Put a sign at the front of your yard? Take an illegal advertising
sign with an unprinted side, reverse it, and make your sign with an
indelible marker. IF it will help, use one facing each direction and
one facilng the street.

Have your own yard sale and give it away then. Put FREE on a sign in
front of the bags.
