Those huge bags that sand and gravel are delivered in...

...does anyone take them back? I've one here, seems a shame to chuck it.

Don't think so - there'd be issues with the straps fraying - only way they'd be sure they're safe is a new one each time :-(

Thanks, Dave.

Yup. The powers that be have dictated that these bags must start to rot away within days. In a short period of time, you cannot lift them as they just go in bruck. So you have no choice to chuck them, and re-using is an impossibility.

And we have folk on here that say that reusing in the "golden age" was just a fallacy.....

We re-use ours. mainly as carpets and curtains for the kids den.....
They get holes in really quickly!
