burn them, to power a small generator. then use the electric to reduce your electricity bills and the ash as fertilizer. Carbon neutral as well.

If the husks are of pretty good size and clean, you might see if you could sell them for wrapping tamales - or trade at a local authentic Mexican restaurant for a few free meals? Some crafters still make corn husk dolls. Maybe you could find a school lthat might want some of them for a project. Or a Boy or Girl scout troop. Some cities have recycling/trade centers for odd extra containers, paper, fibers or plastics- they might take them too. If you are in the country, you might find a pig farmer that could use them as food. How about figuring out another porduct to make from them like a firestarter or something? Good Luck.

You may laugh, but I know many people besides myself that make cornhusk dolls! So, you could dry them, then sell them in bundles. Or, if you were creative, take large bundles and dye them differnt colors, then sell them in lots to crafters online, or offer them to stores that sell crafts for projects. I have even made flowers and such with them! Besides that, there are many Hispanics that use them to make tamales, so you could dry them and sell them in lots like that. Best bet is to look online! Good luck to you!

Compost them down and sell it! Practically no up front cost, little maintenance and high sale price.

They will compost well, if you can't find another way to dispose of them.
