Shovel sand into a large sealed storage container or old garbage can. When it is too cold for chemical de-icers to be effective, you can sprinkle the sand on your driveway. It is abrasive enough to provide traction for your vehicle.
Add sand to your compost pile. Sand will help aerate the compost. Be sure that sand does not make up more than one-fourth the amount of your compost.
Mix sand with pea gravel and place in the base of plants that you would like to pot and take inside for the winter. This will assist in the soil's drainage.
Rent a trailer or truck and load it with your sandbox sand. Take the sand to your local dump for disposal.
