Guess what we did with the plastic bag after we picked up our dry cleaning?
We use it to line our recyclable bin!
In New York, recyclables need to be in a clear plastic bag, so the ones that protect dry cleaning are perfect. Simply knot one end closed and start tossing in bottles and cans!

Dry cleaning? Isn't that anti-"green"????
I've never used a drycleaner since my understanding is that "traditional" drycleaning is extremely toxic and once vacated, the site must be treated as a brown site. I know there're green cleaners, but I've gotten in the habit of going without.
As far as those bags are concerned, they're recyclable in Minneapolis by dropping them off at various grocery stores.
on the rare occasion that i can't avoid dry cleaning-- i use the bags as packing material for gifts or shipping.
as for plastic bags being recyclable-- they are Collected but Rarely actually recycled-- so best to avoid getting them in the first place.
