In Atlanta 2007 they threw the tubes into the stands, and gave away all the tubes.

I volunteered at LA last year and they actually did do something similar with trackballs. We had an area blocked off with black curtains where we filled up extra balls and then stacked them in a big pyramid by the field. At the end of the regional we had to deflate all of the extras so we had about 30 balls at one point.

FIRST still has about 6,000 tubes in Manchester because the robots destroyed fewer than anticipated. If you want a large quantity of them, I'm sure they would be happy to sell them on the cheap.

Wow, I would of expected a ton of tubes to get destroyed as well.... Then again the only tube of ours that got destroyed was not even by a robot....

What's actually happening here is that all but about 4 bags are for other events. Each event gets 4 bags, plus whatever the previous event sends along.

L.A. used up the S.D. bags and went through about 1-1.5 bags marked for L.A., for reference.
