Paper Bag for Small Recycling

I don't use plastic bags anymore, so everything I buy comes in paper bags. I use one paper bag for odds and ends of paper, such as labels from tin cans, receipts that I don't need to keep. I keep it by the back door so when it's full I fold over the top and off to the recycle bin it goes and it's so handy and after a while everybody in the house uses it. On top of that you don't have little pieces of paper in your blue box.

Yep, I do something similar but use cereal, cracker etc boxes, then any little piece of paper (tabs from cookies boxes, pieces of scrap, I am a freak for recycling) go in the little box. (03/27/2008)

So sensible, and so responsible. I've been putting my tea bag labels (when I don't use loose tea) and packets if they're paper in the recycle boxes, which are also blue in Sacramento. The bags go to compost, with the string if I chance the twine being natural.

With all the bits of paper thrown about, it's considerate to have them in one batch for the recyclers. (03/28/2008)

Even using paper bags instead of plastic at the grocery store is harmful. Every year billions of trees are cut to produce those paper bags, and only those paper bags. It is better to use canvas reusable tote bags and just use a small 100% recycled plastic recycle bin. (06/04/2008)
