what do you do with your empty bags?

[Tim Linden]

I brought mine to Walmart and filled a shopping cart with them all shoved in there. The sign said no dirty bags and I didn't know if saw dust was considered dirty so I put em in the bin fast LOL

Walmart definitely take the bags, I heard they go to trex for decking

I put them on heads of people I don't like fastened with a tight rope around the neck. Anyone have any extra bags? LOL!

Mine go into a blue recycling bin and get placed on the curb.

for the past 3 years I have been using the empty bags for kitchen garbage but I am actually starting to have a seriously large supply of them,at the beggining of pellet season this year I still had 4 bags totally stuffed with empty bags from last year, now I have those plus another 100 bags +-.
I use about 3-5bags a week for garbage & always think i will usethem up by end of the fall but i am starting to get bombarded with them, I know I could through them out but it seems like such a waste especially when I see that hefty bag comercial about covering MT renier.
lol

I'm from Ct also, dont you have a recycle barrel and place near road byweekly?, i use 1 bag a week to carry my uniforms back to work

I recycle them at the curb as they are picked up with other recyclables.

Perhaps list them on freecycle or craigslist, or perhaps a neighbor may want some for trash bags? Advertise the fact that they are great for construction clean up since they are such thick plastic.

I'm seriously short of the regular grocery type bags with handles that I like to use for picking up dog-doo in the yard. Our local stores have a plastic bag ban so you have to bring your own or pay for each paper bag. I'm stuck with using bread bags which aren't as handy for the job. If someone offered those types of bags on craigslist, I'd snatch them up in a heartbeat!

Stuff them into a large burlap bag, roll and seal the top with tie wraps. Then make an excellent backstop for compound bow shooting. Stops everything

We just throw everything together and put it at road side for pickup by private contractor. Cheaper than the dump who makes us recycle. And either way it All ends up at Semass. Semass is a large 95 acre facility in West Wareham Ma. with a trash burner that generates electricity. The trash is picked over with magnets to get out metal that is recycled and a drop system of some sort that sorts out the ash from unburned products that gets recycled. So anything that burns goes to make electricity that supplies 75,000 people.

I'm best off not shooting my bow any more. Even with 80% let off it gets me in my bum neck ( got crinked up in a car crash, now it crunches and grinds and stuff some 30 years later)..
