When I lived in Socal and got plastic bags from target they all ended up in the trash because there wasn't recycling for them available nearby and I wasn't going to drive way out of my way to do it. Here I've been using the bags at least once again, and they always end up in recycling. The city even recommends using them for yard waste and other compostables as the bags are perfectly biodegradable.
