Making use of your plastic bags

Making use of your plastic bags

 

  • Use them as bin liners.
  • Place them in the bottom of plant pots and hanging baskets - they
    act as great drainage systems.
  • Children can use them for carrying PE gear to school.
  • Scrunch them up to surround items when you're packaging as an alternative
    to bubble wrap.
  • Use them in the garden to hold your grass cuttings and hedge trimmings
    before transfer to a compost bin.
  • Use them when packing for a holiday to keep dirty/wet clothes and
    shoes away from dry clothing.
  • Use them as 'doggy doo bags' when out walking your dog!
  • Some supermarkets recycle plastic bags, so you can return plastic
    bags to them.
  • Re-use washed zip lock bags for sandwiches and snacks rather than
    using plastic wrap.
