2. do YOU re-use them? Or do you buy more? |
|
They probably can be recycled. The question is -- do YOU re-use them, instead of buying more? People need to stop buying these things in such large amounts. These bags can be re-used.

3. Wash your baggies for reuse (unless they stored raw meat). |
|
They will last practically forever if you take good care of them.
When they are falling apart I throw them in the trash. It's rare. I only recycle plastic that has a triangle telling which type it is - that plus the grocery bags which LA finally permits in the recycling bin.
