Sounds like a dumb idea to me. As for the tubes, we recycle ours. It’s really not that hard to do.

toilet tube + sawdust + corn oil + paraffin wax = great fire starter. Best if you cut them into 1" pucks. You can do the same with paper towel tubes as well.

Oh noes!!! Without the tube, how will we know which end to pull on? I mean, do you pull it out from the center like a kleenex from a box? If you pick up the roll and your hands are wet, the tissue will tear and stick to your fingers. Now everybody has to buy a roller! That’s not green! And that last little piece, you just don’t know where it’s been! You have to throw it out unused!
This is just horrible.

The paper used to make the tubes is certainly biodegradable and could even be recycled so what's the problem? Environmentalist wackos will fight to have the tube removed from our toilet paper, but have no problem with a government mandate that will fill our homes with CFL bulbs full of toxic mercury that cannot be recycled and must be disposed as hazardous waste...go figure.

Nearly 17 billion toilet paper tubes are produced annually in the US alone, according to to Kimberly-Clark with most consumers throwing out used tubes.

Most people do that with the toilet paper too, unless you appear on Hoarders.

You can bet the price to consumers will go up as their cost goes down.

Tubeless TP rolls aren’t worth a sh**!

How will you get them on the spindle?

"...If the product, which will be rolled out in stores next Monday, is well-received by consumers..."

Heh, heh.
