Question Paper or plastic?

I reuse both, but which is honestly more affordable and practical to recycle and reuse?

I've been doing both mostly with plastic, as paper isn't as reusable, not as durable. And recycling it I understand is more expensive. Is my info correct?

I do not know the costs on the recycling.

I have switched to the cloth bags most stores sell now. Some places like target will even give you money back when you use them at the store. It is usually something like $.05 a bag or so.

I use plastic most times, I use them for other things in my house so I am recycling them or reusing them. I also use the re-usable shopping bags that all the stores sell. Those are great for the environment.

Do you just mean bags or do you mean other things as well? I know when I throw a party I get plastic cups. I can wash and reuse them and if you get the right ones you can also recycle them.

Anytime I can reuse the plastic ones I will do so, we have two close stores here. One that does either or depending on what you ask at checkout and the other is only plastic for some reason.
