We all have them. It's those plastic bags that we get from the store. It could be the bags that hold our sliced bread. It could be any bag, even a produce bag, that held a pound of apples.
The city we live in does not let us put these bags in the recycling for pick up on Thursdays. We have always used these bags to help with cleaning and scooping of cat litter. The bags get used to line bathroom trash baskets. We use these bags also to pick up our dog's mess when we take him outside to use the "facilities". My kids usually walk Jackson. When we owned our home we had a fenced back yard and could let him in and out as he wished. Now that we are renting there's no fenced yard and he needs to be walked a couple times a day.
Some times I use the bread bags to put dryer lint in and throw away when full.
We shop at Aldi and have our own brown bags that we use all the time. We do stop at other stores occasionally and have two bags that are filled with other plastic bags. We do put a bag in the car to have a place to throw things when we are out and about in town.
What do you use those bags for? Any thoughts?
I reuse all food stuff plastic bags for wrapping lunch items for away from home. What few larger bags enter here are used to line waste baskets. If you have a glut of bags, at least around here, thrift shops will take them if not food pantries, for their clients to use. Also can recycle them at the entrance of most grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of using them for lunch bags. I will have to look at the grocery store next to our house and see if they recycle the plastic bags. I will have to look to see if there is a food pantry in this area to donate the bags too. That is a great idea. I would have never thought of donating the plastic bags to the food pantry.
