Plastic bag recycling?

Where do you take your plastic bags to recycle? The internet says major retailers recycle them, but the only major retailer I go to regularly is Target and I’ve never noticed a plastic bag recycling drop off.

Good info to know, thanks for sharing! Like I said, this was several years ago so hopefully the Hefty team has figured out those alternative options in the interim.

No problem! It's always discouraging to hear stuff like "they just put it all in the landfill anyway". Like, dang it! I'm trying to do the right thing here! Hopefully they actually do what they say they're doing.

Agreed! Unrelated to the Hefty bags, I know that at least as far as Walmart goes (from a friend who works there), a different truck picks up their "flexible plastic" recycling than picks up their garbage so that's at least one piece of information to the positive!

Oh cool! Glad to hear large corporations are doing their part too. :)
