It'll be out of your house, in the hands of someone who wants them, and not filling up our landfills.
The trouble is, in cleaning out my quilt room today, since this post had me pull a lot of my other scraps and yardage that I no longer love, I could probably fill about 10 or more of the large (12 x 12 x 6) and to mail each one of them it cost $22.80. I'm not sure people would pay 22.80 for a box of scraps or yardage that they don't know if they want all of them or not.
