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...

put them in your fertilizer spreader and broadcast around your yard
Ya get rid of them plus you get some exercise

Have you watched the movie "The Great Escape", or even the much earlier
"The Wooden Horse"? As they walked around the exercise area or tended
their vegetable garden, the prisoners disposed of the soil from the
escape tunnels by surreptitiously releasing it from bags concealed in
their trouser legs. Using a similar technique, your local park might
provide a suitable place for dumping the sand. ;o)

Alternatively, you could dig a hole and bury it.
