Around your home, you can reuse plastic bags for:

  • Litter box liners
  • Trash can liners
  • Storage for recyclables
  • Storage for food waste (before it’s composted)

In the kitchen, use them to:

  • Cover unused food
  • Store produce to keep it fresh longer
  • Freeze berries and herbs

Being waterproof, they are also useful for:

  • Protecting outdoor items from rain, frost and snow
  • Keeping your feet dry as shoe and boot linersRinse and reuse plastic trash bags as often as you can. When you have gotten all that you can from them, recycle at your local market in the appropriate bin. Feel good that you are helping both the planet and your own wallet.
  • Additionally, they make wonderful storage containers in cars, trucks, boats and travel trailers.
