any idea how best to get rid of dozens of brown grocery bags?

[Grasswire2]

(aside from recycling, which I could do but wonder if people are seeking these good bags that have handles)

1. put them out with your usual trash pickup? see if the googwill etc want them? nt

3. Give to a local farmer's market vendor.

Spur-of-the-moment shoppers don't always have bags.

[we can do it]

4. Use them for yard waste?

5. Take them to a food pantry

The one I run in Portland is always in need of them.

It's called Neighborhood House.

6. Use them....

As fire starters (if you have a fireplace that is), compost them in your garden, or use them for worm food (we have a worm bin and they love cardboard and heavy paper).

Plain brown bags don't have anything toxic in them. They are safe for garden composting.

7. Find someone with an indoor cat.

For the used litter.

9. If there is a local food pantry, they are always in need!

10. I use them to gather recyclables for pickup

I don’t use paper bags for long-term storage because it’s a cozy environment for bugs and bookmites. Cockroaches eat ‘em.

11. Use for drawing/painting/crayon-ing paper when you don't want to use expensive white paper.

12. We save ours for when we have a fire in the fireplace in winter
