Five Uses for Recycled Shopping Bags

Those plastic shopping bags don’t have to go into the trash, but can be of multiple uses throughout the house with a little creativity. Here are five ways to turn them into helpers instead of polluters.

First of all, these shopping bags make wonderful packing material when shipping an item. They are wonderful padding, and will keep the item safe in transport.

Second, these bags make wonderful trash bags for the smaller cans in your home, such as you use in the bathroom or office. By emptying the trash and leaving the bag in (if able to), you use the bag multiple more times.

A third use is as convenient carry bags. If you have to take things somewhere, and need an extra hand, keeping these bags on hand will help you out immensely.

Fourth, these are wonderful liners for your cat box. By layering them in the bottom, it keeps the litter from sticking and makes clean-up much easier in the end than usual.

Fifth, they are a fast cover when you need to store something in the refrigerator. This is an easy fix in a tight spot.

Recycling shopping bags helps you in many ways and the earth.
