What do you do with reusable shopping bags if you have too many or have worn a few out and need to replace them? Don't toss them in the trash; instead, donate them to be recycled into new reusable shopping bags. One of the biggest makers of reusable bags, Chicobag, has a recycling program that accepts all types of reusable shopping bags in any condition. Bags in good condition are cleaned and donated to low-income families. Worn-out bags are woven into new products like aprons, rugs, journals and -- yes -- new bags. Learn more at chicobag.com.
