surplus plastic grocery bags .

i take mine to the local seinior center and give them to the lyons club . the club makes plastic benches out of them. i give my soda cans to my church to recycle as they have a account under their name .

3. First laugh I have had since the case went to the jury.

11. I amuse myself mostly

but glad to share.

[we can do it]

4. Perfect for litter box scooping too.

7. That's where mine go

Because I shop mainly at Aldi with reusable bags, I’ve had to resort to collecting bags from the neighbors to take care of litter scooping for 14 cats.

10. Do your neighbors give you their extra cats too?

[AllaN01Bear]

13. no, but that is a good idea.

[spinbaby]

16. They have

Eight of fourteen cats are from the neighborhood cat hoarder who died. He and his brother—who is now in care with dementia—had twelve cats in deplorable conditions. I’m working on getting them rehomed. Are you, by any chance, in the Pittsburgh area and in need of a cat?

[rzemanfl]

17. I am nowhere near Pittsburgh and cannot have a cat where I live.

2. Great tip on the bags. We try to use as few as we can, but we still get way too many.

[we can do it]

5. We have very little trash each week, use them instead of buying big ones.

6. My wife's library collects plastic bags and wrapping material to be made into benches.

So far they've gotten 2 free benches made from the materials they collected, and they're still doing it.
You might want to have your local library, senior center, school, or other organization look into doing the same.

8. I got some canvas bags from my mom

Great for Aldis, but I try to get to Aldis 2-3 times/week (resupply my Greek Yogurt and berries). I normally don't use more than two.

9. I tried giving them away

but by then I’d given them all names

[JudyM]

12. I've run out of them (have been using for trash) since they were outlawed at the state level.

Thinking about the environmental cost of purchasing new trash bags now, which are thicker and larger than what we need. We’ve started using paper bags but they don’t fit and aren’t durable when they get damp. Happy about the new law, overall, of course!

14. My BIL made an oak bag hanger for inside the

left door under my sink. That is my garbage bag! Haven’t bought a garbage bag in forever. Waste of $$$

[No Vested Interest]

15. I keep my reusable plastic bags in an empty plastic coffee container-

it is large enough & they're used fairly quickly for waste basket lining throughout the house.
