Default Taking Grocery Plastic Bags To Walmart

I've noticed that WalMart has a place you can put the plastic grocery bags to be recycled close to the front doors. It always has bags in it, so people are using it. What do you do with your plastic grocery bags?

I use them for small garbage bags at my house. I never have any extra's either. I am recycling them by using them again. I know they end up in the trash in the end but I do use them more than 1 time.

I save most of them and recycle some of them. I have been saving them for awhile because I found a neat project where you can make rugs and blankets out of them.

I take them back to be recycled as well. I've tried to keep them before, and my collection gets too large. I keep some around the house for when I need a small trash bag.

I use them for so many things around the house, picking up after the dog, putting wet clothes in after the pool, my husband uses them for his lunches. We never throw them away, we have tons of uses for them.

Publix here has those too. We have switched to the re-usable bags, but once in while we still get the others. We recycle them, or find other uses for them.

There are a lot of uses for them. I bag used cat litter in them and use them as liners for small garbage cans. You can also make a "yarn" out of them. My wife does this and makes things for outside out of them. She has made many front door mats from them.
