Burlap Sacks

[Carol Whitaker]

Hi folks,

Discovered Starbucks isn't doing a publically accessible burlap bag recycle thing anymore... but found an alternate source Sustainable NE Seattle, that's collecting / re-distributing burlap resources from many stores/restaurants/organizations, which opens us up for more options.  I sent them an email to get more details...... here's their reply.....

We're happy to help you get all your burlap needs met. But there are many
different burlap bag types and grades, depending on the use you want to put them
to. And just as importantly, there are _significant_ pricing differences between
a small order (100+ bags) and a medium-sized order (400+ bags) and a large order
(800+ bags), even if each was similiarly picked up at our facility.

So to help you with pricing we'd need to have a slightly narrower idea of
the range of numbers needed, and know what kinds of bags we need to quote you
(based on the use you want to put them to - erosion control? weedblock? sheet
mulching? container planting? geo-technical filter material? etc...)

So, what do Trellis members prefer?

Respond to this thread with your thoughts and in the meantime, I'll reach out to other gardening-related groups in the valley/East side and see who else is interested...... obviously, the greater the volume, the better the price.

Great!  See you tomorrow!

I hope I'm not too late. I would like 25.

[Carol Whitaker]

Nope.  You're fine!  Tomorrow's the deadline.  I have you on the list.

[Lori Storm]

Since they are free. I would like to change mine from 25 to 100. Be nice for weed control.

Thank you so much.

Carol, Since the bags are free, I am going to change my number from 300 to 400.

Thanks so much.

[Carol Whitaker]

OK.  So noted on the master list!

[Gloria Benson]

Thanks Carol!

     I could use 100 bags for weed control. This is going to be great! Thanks so much.

[Carol Whitaker]

OK Gloria, I have you on the list......

 

Today's the final day to submit requests..... we're getting close to 2,000 bags!  Oh my!

[Lori Storm]

Carol did you get my change? I'm just learning how to use this forum.

[Carol Whitaker]

Got you on the list.  100 it is!

[Carol Whitaker]

OK.  NO MORE REQUESTS BEING TAKEN.

For those of you who gave me a count, I'll get back to you shortly with details on pick up logistics. 

Stay tuned!
