We use them for temporary storage of weeds etc when cleaning up flowerbeds and the like, then use them to transport to the tip anything we don’t want to compost. We also use them for storage of twigs and light branches while they dry out, for eventual use on the fire as kindling. At our old house, we also used them to collect leaf mould from the er, ahem, field archery club woods. They are very versatile and definitely worth keeping.
