What does everyone do with their empty spools?

I asked Makergear and they don't sell bulk filament. I took a look at Ultimachine and their bulk packs are the same price as buying something on a spool. I'm seriously thinking about putting tires on them and building a go kart or something cuz I'm up to 4 now -_-

Thoughts? I feel bad recycling them because god knows where that actually ends up, and Village Plastics won't sell me anything as an end user (well ok maybe they will but not in a quantity I can consume in any reasonable amount of time).

Would you mind dropping them into a USPS prepaid box that I pay for and mailing them to me? I refill them...

I'm good on spools for now guys, thanks though. Got a few 5lb'ers to burn through.
