Toilet roll - bin it or reuse it?

My 15mnth old's favourite hobby at the moment is unravelling toilet rolls, with the result that we have large piles of unravelled toilet roll sitting beside each toilet. My DH wants to throw it out - I am making everyone use up the piles before I bring the new rolls out of hiding. He says we can afford to chuck it out. I say that is not the point.

AIBU

I'd definitely use it. I'd also try to teach the baby not to do this. Easy to say I know but they all have to learn sometime.

use it, why throw it out, it's not been used and is perfectly good to use.

I don't like waste

have you tried to squish the roll so it makes and oval? it's much harder to yank a long length then. Much less fun for wannabe Andrex puppies!

Use it.

No one should ever have the attitude that they can afford to be wasteful

We use it. If we have guests coming we get a new roll out and hide the old unravelled one until they've gone.

Well I think you should spend a whole evening wrapping it back round the empty toilet rolls (whilst drinking a bottle of wine of course)....

Definately use, but would have to fold it up a little..
