Any recycling ideas for elastic bands?

Question

I just can't seem to bring myself to throw out elastic bands, and now I've got hundreds of them. Any good, useful suggestions for recycling them? I reuse them of course when the opportunity comes up, but supply is now well overtaking demand. I need to put them to good use.

Answer 1

rubber band gun, you'll never have enough bands again!

Other than that, good luck, half of them have probably perished by now.

Answer 2

Make a rubber band guitar or a rubber band ball. THe ball would keep them neat and its a fun little toy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_band...

Answer 3

Package them and resale them to local new paper companies or other companies that may have use of them.  Might make a little bit of money on the side.

Answer 4

Make a giant rubberband ball.

Answer 5

They degrade in sunlight, so sling em out, and theyll return some rubbery nutrients to the soil. Something in them's gotta be good for plants.

Answer 6

My friend had a lot of elastic bands and she sold them to a company and a store for a good price.

they are recycled and you make money....everyone wins
