Perfect Sunday mornings mean coffee and the paper. What’s not so relaxing? Knowing we can't return that little blue plastic bag to our local grocery store. Here’s five everyday ways to recycle them...
- Hold your wet bathing suit when coming home from the beach
- Scoop up doggie poop
- Contain trash inside the car
- Slip a pair of shoes inside one when packing a suitcase so that clothes don't get soiled
- Bring with you to the wine store to carry home you favorite bottle of vino
Any other ideas?

I used to toss them in my diaper bag for soiled cloth dipes and clothes.
I...
1. use them to line my skinny bathroom trash can
2. take them with me to the store and put glass containers in them before putting in my nylon tote. (yes, i had something break before ... lesson learned!)
3. take to the office to tote my recyclable lunch refuse home in
We've stopped buying diaper genie refills and just use the newspaper bags to put our 1 year old's poop diapers in on the way to the trash can outside the house. Makes me feel better to reuse them and cuts off the smell pretty effectively.
my father actually cuts them in half and tapes the one's end shut before using them to scoop poop. (we have small dogs...!)
Go digital and skip the bags!
I live in Toronto and these bags are no longer used by the newspapers around here. Great for the environment, bad for me: I now have to buy poop bags for the dog. ;P
This goes for those Subway sandwich bags as well!
wait. the times told me those bags are recyclable... i've been recycling them.... am i wrong?

I am an independent contractor for a newspaper company and we have to purchase those bags from our company at 15.00 a carton... average 30.00$ to 45.00$ a month, depending on weather or customers.. and that price is just the daily bags.. as anyone thought of giving them back to the delivery person.. or back to the company for them to had out to workers that don't mind using the recycled bags?
