If you wish to get rid of any and all types of glassware or bar items and give it a new home, or to get rid of all your bottle corks, send them to me. For information as to where to send please e-mail me, and I will send you the needed information. Please understand it is at your own expense since I am a non-profit recycler.

You could get a metal sheet, glue cork to half of it, chalkboard to the other, frame it, and add little pockets, shelves, magnets, mirrors, hooks, calendars, to do lists, planners, and anything else you can think of to organize.

I like the insulation idea, I heard you can used old clothes and newspaper as insulation as well. Good luck! What about making boards for push pins where you can put pictures, memos, what-nots.

Imagine 60 contractor garbage bags filled with what looks like broken concrete--big jagged 4" thick chunks. Coaster? Probably not. I'm thinking of renting a wood chipper to send it all through, then use the granulated cork as insulation in the crawlspace of my home. I'll post the results, but really, coaster?

Either full-on building insulation if you really have a lot of it, or smaller-scale e.g. around hot water tanks. Yeah, I’d probably go for insulation.

Cork has a lot of building uses. From flooring, to furniture, to shelving, and insulation. If you have a lot of it you should be able to give/sell it to someone in the construction field. For smaller amounts, I'd use it for cabinet stops or floor protectors for the bottom of your chair and table legs. Good luck. Call a local contractor. Cork has a lot of building uses.

For thin sheets, it would be ideal for putting on the feet of table and chair legs to prevent scratching floors. I would expect that cork would make good insulation if available in slabs.
