coffee sacks

dianah

i'm after old coffee sacks to make beds for my dogs - they seem ideal for that and i like to reuse materials so that nicely fits in with that.

i know that cafe direct ran a coffee sack recycling project last year but i don't think it's running anymore.

i have seen some for sale but they vary from the pictured example and the quality is important given the dogs will lie and dig (they do. i know!) on them.

does anybody know if there's a coffee company that routinely gives them away/sells them off?

i live on the isle of man so all the usual channels like freecycle are out of the window - we do have freecycle but we don't roast coffee so it's unlikely someone would have that

thanks!

Not sure if they still do but Monmouth (sp?) coffee shops in London (Covent Garden, Borough Market etc) used to sell their bags, no idea if they still do though.
