Green Flagging
I mean dark green flagging, not the florescent kind. I’ve inherited north of 100 rolls of it and have no idea how I’m going to get rid of it – other than just ash canning it. Any clever ideas?

Give it away to people who will pay for shipping costs. (Not me!)

A little more eye pleasing, and more permanent, supply item for TPing an unpleasant neighbors’ yard. Of course I wouldn’t do it myself but drop some innocent, deniable suggestions to your neighborhood Jr High prank crew members.

Great for those stealth surveys where you want to get in and out fast so the neighbor never sees you.
Save it for use on jobs for color-blind clients.

You can start taking on more sewer work. Staking sewer line and MH offsets can use it up pretty fast sometimes. One past job comes to mind where we were connecting a bunch of housing developments pump stations into a nearby town sewer via a combination of gravity and forced main lines. It was a fairly large scale job which took a lot of flagging and stakes.

@norman-oklahoma knit your own camouflage net?

I was going to say the same thing.
Burn it on construction. Storm or sanitary, don’t matter let the contractor know and use a lot

It might also make good imitation-grass hula skirts.

Who told you about my hula skirt?

Get rid of it, then a solution for what you need it for will present itself.

New Hampshire DOT uses green and white to flag highway monuments.

Any schools near by that use dark green in their colors? You could donate it to them.

Take it to your local nursery and sell it to them. I’ve used flagging of all colors to brace plants like tomatoes, eggplant, and squash.

This is the way. My wife would love it if I had dark green flagging on our veggies instead of flo-green (or flo-orange).

I use it to mark trees I’ve located; I’m the one that knows it’s there and not as visible to client or neighbors…
Next time your in Puyallup, you can bring me some
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will! -
Would be great bow material for Christmas packages.
Could create streamers for St. Patrick’s Day parties.

That is the first legitimate use for that color that has been offered.

Stealth surveying is legitimate. Smart choice, too.

If you do much construction staking it could be useful. Around here the soil has a strong red tint to it so the green should show up well.
