Hanging Plastic Bags For Reuse
To prevent pest infestation/attraction, I do not store any that have had dairy products, meats or anything that has leaked in them, that have even tiny holes, nor are badly wrinkled. By having them already sorted, I can more efficiently reuse/recycle them. The wrinkled ones I use immediately for my house bunny's bed/toilet box lining, and left-over bones from kitchen table scraps unfit for composting. Any leaks that are washable, I wash in hot soapy water, then rinse in a mild, weak, bleach water to prevent mold growth and souring, then I use it for collecting my kitchen scraps for the outside compost. This is the final step for a sack in our home. Once re-used and contaminated with kitchen waste scheduled for the garden, I finally toss it.
It really helps our family to have ready access to a sack that is the appropriate size, shape, condition, and even for returning items for refunds. I keep a few of the less wrinkled ones in the floor of my car's back seat for cleaning out garbage each time we go out, and having the sack full for when we find a public trashcan, helping keep the older car at least clean.
This Summer, I hope to double-sack a few of my rare Hybrid Allium bulbs and perhaps sell them to garden centers.
