We don't use tape.. at all.. permanent blockout is so they way to go.
Yes! We just got our first batch of permanent blockout screens and they are awesome!
However we gang up screens with multiple images and will still use some tape to cover up... The box idea sounds great though

we use a box, fold the flaps out, when done fold them on top and tape it up.  we use boxes as garbage cans a lot around here, they fit under presses and save a few steps when you need to throw stuff away.  and you're not buying bags that you will only throw out in a few days.

this, and you can stuff a lot of tape into a box...

Are you guys just throwing the box in a contractor bag when it's full or do you put it out on Cardboard day? Or does everyone here have a dumpster?

We toss ours in the regular trash dumpster.

Awesome. Yeah, the box idea is great. Feel dumb for not even thinking of that. No shortage of boxes that is for sure. Thanks all!

Another vote for using a box.

Doh!

We've had similar "art installations" here. That is beautiful work...

So we toss the tape and it will end up sticking to sides of the garbage bag and at times pretty much ruin the bag and we have to change out the whole thing with the can being barely full. It's like a spider web in there sometimes.

Would using a silicone spray stop that from happening? Any tips or tricks?

So I didn't read everyone's answer, someone may do this too, but we don't use a garbage back, we us a big tub, put the tape right in the tube, as you know, that will start to just create a big  tape pile, then as it gets to the height of the tub top, take a shirt from your rag bin and lay it over it, smoosh it down. Start piling on top, once that pile is pretty dense, put another shirt on top, smoosh it down, then we lay a piece of visqueen plastic on the floor, turn and dump the pile on it, and fold it up. The visqueen will stick to the tape, making a nice big bean bag sized ball. Toss that puppy in the dumpster, nice and easy.

if you are going to continue to use contractor bags try using this as a non stick coating.
