ways to avoid static?

just wondering what I can do to avoid static buildup in the shirts and if anyone else has this problem.

Usually fine for the first side, the second side print is usually when the static starts to build up. I assume this is because they land in a plastic container and the sorting tables are also plastic. when they're on my (metal) cart the cart actually shocks me if i touch it. when i put the shirt on the pallet, the metal sides of the pallet shock my hand when i'm smoothing it out. When the screen comes down to print, eventually the static transfers to the screen and causes the shirt to start sticking to the screen (no matter how much adhesive i use). the 'static cling' spray from the store doesnt work either, it just makes you choke from the horrible smell...

Should i buy a humidifier?
Should i not be using a plastic end of dryer bucket?
Should my plastic tables be covered in something else?

I dont want to have this problem when we get the automatic press, i dont want to shock electronics...

Thanks
