I seem to be accumulating the wretched things at a rate of knots. I'd started keeping a few for posting stuff out that I've sold, but that's not very often.

They're not recyclable and it seems daft to just bin them.

I did see an idea of sticking them on freecycle etc for individuals with small ebay stores, but when I looked into it, signing up was just a complete arseache. Also - giving them away with my name and address all over them seems a bit risky when I've no idea where they'll end up, and I'll mostly destroy them by removing labels.

Ideas...?

Ta,

Jon

Stick em all in a big carrier bag in the cupboard under the stairs. That's what I do... But, freecycle - how is it a pain to sign up? Also, it's just your name and address, there are quite a few of them in the country... blockout, scratch off, rip the bit with your name on?

There's also freeads.co.uk where you can advertise free stuff. Or Facebook....  I agree they are quite a wasteful item if you receive more than you send.

Freecycle or local Facebook group. See them pop up occasionally on my Facebook marketplace groups. Or sell more things on eBay. Have a spring clear out

Start selling lots of small items on eBay.

Start selling lots of small items on eBay.

Such as jiffy bags. Then you're killing 2 birds, and making a few bob.
