There are several things you can do with your old rucksacks, depending on their condition and whether you want to keep them or donate them. Here are a few ideas:

  • If your rucksacks are still in good condition and you want to keep them, you can store them in your closet or garage until you need them again. You can also repurpose them for other uses, such as using a small rucksack as a gym bag or a large rucksack as a storage bag for camping gear.

  • If your rucksacks are no longer in good condition, but you still want to keep them, you can repurpose them for other uses. For example, you can cut up an old rucksack and use the material to make a new bag, or you can use the straps and buckles to make a dog leash or a belt.

  • If you no longer want your old rucksacks and they are still in good condition, you can donate them to a thrift store or a charitable organisation that provides clothing and gear to people in need. This is a great way to give your rucksacks a new life and help others at the same time.

  • If your old rucksacks are no longer in good condition and you no longer want them, you can recycle them. Many outdoor gear manufacturers have programs in place to recycle old rucksacks and other gear, so you can check with them to see if they will take your old rucksacks for recycling. You can also check with your local waste management company to see if they have a program for recycling old bags and other textiles.

If you also have an old sleeping bag then you have quite a few options of what to do with them.
