I reuse them once and throw them away, exactly the same way I did with the thinner bags.
- gambiting 3y agoReally? Why? I have a bunch of thick Sainsburys bags that I bought probably 5 years ago and I still use them for shopping every week - they will have been used probably 200 times each, easy. No idea why I'd throw them out.
- not_a_shill 3y agoI just use them like trash bags /bin liners. I have fabric reusable ones I just forget or are unable to bring half the time. Re: throwing them out vs recycling them, our bags you can only recycle at the store themselves...so just a bit too much friction to bother with. I can't recall ever seeing or hearing of anyone recycling them that way either.
- gambiting 3y agoI have a feeling we might be talking about different things. I'm talking about bags like these: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjk8p3YqZKEAxVQZZEFHXH_C8MYABABGgJscg&ase=2&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfnhyzuNO9Ppi2dSjM4QXa3T5zze1UoW4ndGf18My0yxNXFq3CvVc61hoCKDgQAvD_BwE&sig=AOD64_198k-30NqloeiZfNy0VFZsctcABg&ctype=5&nis=6&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjSxI_YqZKEAxX2WqQEHQQKCSAQwg96BAgBEGQ https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjk8p3YqZKEAxVQZZE...
- not_a_shill 3y agoThey sell those kinds of bags here too, but these are the ones that a lot of people in this thread are talking about https://www.northjersey.com/gcdn/presto/2019/06/07/PNJM/74a3c9e8-c785-4146-8645-974eb74bdfe3-bags.jpeg https://www.northjersey.com/gcdn/presto/2019/06/07/PNJM/74a3...
- revscat 3y agoIs this something you are proud of?
- inpdx 3y agoSuggestion - reuse them.
- samdunham 3y agoExact same thing here. I reused the thin plastic bags as trash can liners. And I use the new, thicker ones, the same way. I'm contributing exactly the same number of bags back into the environment, they just have a whole lot more plastic in each bag.
