What does one do with old sandbags?


Truck drivers Mike Baker, left, and Bryce Winjum, right, relaxed on a pile of sandbags in Fargo, N.D., Wednesday. Officials face the task of removing about 3 million sandbags in the city after the Red River fell below the floodwall. The river still remains above the flood stage. (Scott Olson/Getty Images) (via)
These are ones that haven't been used - yet (there's still a huge snowpack that hasn't melted, with the chance for another river crest later in the month). But when it's over, I wonder if the bags get stored somewhere for recycling with the next flood...
