There are recycling bins for plastic bags in front of safeway stores; sometimes other groceries. In theory they are made into something like pavement or flip flops or something; and in theory they are not shipped overseas. . . NEVER put them in the blue bins please – city recycling can’t handle them yet.

They can’t be torn open easily and constantly tangle and jam in machinery.
