Where can I recycle paper grocery bags?

Question

Does anyone know where you can recycle paper grocery bags? We have quite a few and they are just taking up space but I won't throw them away. We use them to donate items and such but we still have too many. Thanks!

Answer 1

I don't believe that there is a certain company or reccling center that will accept them.  You can always put them in the weekly recycling- that way they won't be thrown away.

  And like what was said, there are many options pertaining the use of paper bags.

  You could use one as a mini recycling bin in the house. Keep one near a desk so that when a document or paper needs to be recycled, just put it in the paper bag.  Then once the bag is full, go put it in the weekly recycling bin.  

  If fruits or vegetables need to be stored in the refridgerator, they can be placed in the paper bags and then put in the fridge. (there are many fruit trees at our house and we store the fruit in the fridge in paper bags just in cause some start to go bad).

  You can make book covers out of them as well.

Answer 2

you can:

-wrap presents with them

-bring them in places where u shop to bag your stuff so u can prevent yourself from getting more of them and u get 5-10 cents for reusing each of them

-put them on the recycling bin if there is a service providing it

hope this helped
