How to Recycle Carrier Bags
- 1). Fold the carrier bags after you remove their contents, and store them somewhere dry. Make sure they're not accessible to small children.
- 2). Find a local retailer who recycles used carrier bags. Some stores deceptively offer shoppers a carrier bag collection bin, but then they throw the bags away---so ask the manager if they're recycled.
- 3). Find a drop-off location (see link in resources) if your local retailer doesn't recycle carrier bags. If the drop-off location is not close to your home, make sure that you accumulate enough bags in order to justify the gasoline consumed when you drive.
