For years this problem has vexed me as I have tried to do my bit to stave of global warming. I now have no more room in my loft due to the accumulated bags of toenail clippings. It's time to take action. Do I compost them, burn them, eat them? You tell me.

Being a woman with a very developed sense of style plus a keen desire to save the penguins, I use those toenail clippings to decorate my house. You can stick them to mantelpieces, make collages to hang in the walls... the options are endless.

Toe nails are organic, so you should start making a compost. You'll need to keep your clippings moist and warm in order to maximize composting effiency. But don't keep the clippings too wet or else there won't be enough oxygen for the compost bacteria. You also can't keep the clippings to dry or the bacteria won't have the moisture needed to survive and reproduce.
Keep a good eye on your clipping compost, God knows I do.

I am delighted to share with you a little secret, culled out of boredom, ennui, and inspiration. Toenails are very useful as dental floss. I know the English are unfamiliar with this concept, but it involves cleaning *between* your teeth. Once the toenail has done its duty extruding the gunk between your incisors, the toenail is sufficiently coated with enough corrosive material that it may be disposed of by backyard burial. With the help of the gingivitis coating, the toenail degrades in a matter of weeks. Given your ample surplus of ersatz floss, you will green the environment instead of your choppers by not wasting money on dental floss and the 1000-year plastic container such floss is dispensed in. I commend you in doing your part in keeping our planet green.

Eat 'em as you go, and poop 'em out, is my advice. Good fiber,
then Granny doesn't find 'em when she's vaccuming and go "Ewwwwwww! aw....nutz!".
However since you got so many. I suggest you mix 'em in with a cereal crate's worth of Colon Blow, the ultra hi-fiber cereal. The effect will blow you inside out!

I find burning them with a stack of wood and other rubbish to be an efficient way of disposing small items like toenails.

Bury them in the garden...but be careful a witch could collect them and put a spell on you. Serious magic.

that's hilarious. the answers are hilarious too. don't compost since nails are a form of hair or something. just throw them away in the regular garbage can XD

Grind them up into a fine powder and use as a gelatin base for your desserts...
