Put them in Grocery bags ( you get too many of those too unless you own dogs) tie the bags up and throw them in your attic. Years from now you keep doing that and they might pay for themselves.

You can put them in the bottom of your flower pots to help with drainage. Perfect time of year to use up some of those peanuts.

You have to get the ratios right for it to work well

Tony, I would definetly try passing them on to any sort of packing or mailing company etc... Im sure they would take them or tell you the best place to take 'em.

Yeah .. I actually tried unloading them at work at our shipping department. They pretty much begged me not to, apparently we have several tonnes worth. See, I was thinking that "in that case, they won't notice a couple more pounds worth" but they didn't see it that way.

Someone in my neighborhood has taken to letting the wind deal with them I'm picking up a handfull of the freaking things daily from my front yard. I usually just bag em and trash em. I saved them for a while, but got tired of that quickly.

What I really hate about them is the static, they stick to everything and are a pain to handle.

You could always package them up and send them to your "friends" and "family" as gag Christmas and birthday presents. Less expensive than shipping a lump of coal!

I did that to my brother at christmas. Packed a gift card in a huge box with a ton of peanuts He said they ended up all over the house once the kids got into them.

Hmmmm, maybe he's been seeding them in my yard.....
