It's funny you mention chair legs. We have a Spring cleanup where everybody puts their broken furniture, old appliances, etc. out.

When it gets cut up enough, I just toss it out and cut another piece off the roll. It's easy to get since I go to the food store once or twice a week and I can pick a roll up whenever...
