I received an email from New Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in Sumner, Washington. This is the 3rd coffee roaster who has contacted me with the exact same problem, how to recycle their burlap bags. I did an article Recycled Burlap for Upholstery which is one way to reuse burlap bags. Hopefully others have some other ideas.

Anyway- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters wants to recycle their burlap bags, so if anyone is interested please contact

Andrew.Hazen@gmcr.com and let him know, you want the burlap.

We are non-profit and have approx. 20 acres that we are gearing up to open to the public come July 2011. We could really use these excess bags for all sorts of things.
    Please email me if you can help – so appreciated!
