When I was in the suburbs, I guess I might have done the same thing, maybe. Living in the country, can't imagine it but there are so many constructive uses for it.
1) outstanding cat litter, & free -- Don't have cats? Friends/neighbors? Local animal shelter?
2)Gardens/compost/lawn
3)throw it on the icy steps in the winter for traction
4)Best traction aid ever for a car stuck in the snow, always had a bag of it in the trunk of my 2 wheel drive cars.
5)Never buy Speedy-Dry again for cleaning up spilled motor oil/paint etc.
6)Burn it in the woodstove/firepit
7)Teach the kids how to make rudimentary paper/cardboard. Yah, I'm stretching now.
8)Wood Gasifier science projects.
