Are you wanting not to use the liners? Don't you need them to hold your dirt and plant? Are you using the baskets in another way? Really don't understand your question.
here are some ideas

Hope these help you out
I have heard of people using this in worm composting and in potting soil since it holds water so well.
you can compost it. or use it as mulch, weed barrier
Compost pile :)
Compost all the way!
Hello Kathy,
If you don't need them, why not give or offer or sell to folks or charities that could use them, if they are new and not required. If you are talking about old spent coir, then maybe make a birds nest or hedgehog shelter. Stick it to an old broken flower pot for wildlife to hide in. Make a birdhouse and stick it to the roof as faux thatch. Birds love this stuff for building their nests ..........
Hi Kathy, we use a lot of coir or coconut fibre at home in craft projects ( mini bird's nest) and to help with drainage for our large collection of succulents. It also make a wonderful mulch - https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/mulch/using-coconut-coir-mulch.htm
Reuse them...use the liners around any plants that you want to hold moisutre in.
You could always ask the place you bought your baskets from if they'd like to reuse them
