Lots of retailers now have convenient recycling bins for plastic shopping bags. What many people don't realize is that you don't have to bring back just the specific retailer's bag to recycle; you can bring back any store's bag and use those bins. Plastic bags have value as a recyclable product (often made into plastic lumber), which is why stores are more than willing to accept them. So whether it's a supermarket or a clothing store, feel free to fill up those bins with all of your plastic bags.
