Thin grocery (and garbage) bags are sheet polyethylene, the plastic of which is just as recyclable as milk bottles. They are not accepted in many curbside recycling programs because the separation tech is not designed for them, not because the plastic itself is not recyclable. They are recyclable (and frequently recycled) via dedicated collection points. (Most of our grocery stores have them.)
