Can you recycle Victoria Secret bags?

Question

They just installed a new banister for recycling appropriate items only. I'm so excited because I have wanted that bin for a long time. :)

But aside from my happiness, is it okay to recycle Victoria Secret shopping bags? I see no recycling symbol there but I just wanted to know if w/o it can I recycle them?

Answer 1

the recycling symbol means that the item has been made with recycled items. so since it doesn't have one, that just means it wasn't made of recycled paper. since it is paper, however, you can still recycle it!

Answer 2

use them to make a train out of

Answer 3

I have been told that you can. BUT BEFORE YOU DO! Consider this....You can also  reuse the bag for other things. This requires no energy and saves much in the long run. I have a friend who runs a small shop in Wellston who only uses "reusable bags and boxes". I am also told that I had a great grand father who did the same thing with paper bags and wooden crates, so this is nothing new. It is just something that many have to learn or relearn. The more we use any so called disposable item the more we do to extend the life of our resources.<grins> end of lecture.
