I reuse them once and throw them away, exactly the same way I did with the thinner bags.

Really? Why? I have a bunch of thick Sainsburys bags that I bought probably 5 years ago and I still use them for shopping every week - they will have been used probably 200 times each, easy. No idea why I'd throw them out.

I just use them like trash bags /bin liners. I have fabric reusable ones I just forget or are unable to bring half the time.

Re: throwing them out vs recycling them, our bags you can only recycle at the store themselves...so just a bit too much friction to bother with. I can't recall ever seeing or hearing of anyone recycling them that way either.

Exact same thing here. I reused the thin plastic bags as trash can liners. And I use the new, thicker ones, the same way. I'm contributing exactly the same number of bags back into the environment, they just have a whole lot more plastic in each bag.

Suggestion - reuse them.

Is this something you are proud of?
