Alan Medic Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 What?s the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of them? I normally try to avoid them but having collected my son from his house share,it appears we've now got about a years supply of them.

Guest Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I advertised mine in the Wanted section and someone connected with local markets took them the same day. Might be worth a try.Otherwise I recycle them as rubbish bags or use them for de-pooing the garden (presents from local fox population, but seems to deter the cats so not all bad), but I do worry sometimes that that's just pushing the problem off onto the council.

annabel42 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Some charity shops charge a few pence for customers wanting their purchases in a bag, so no need to feel guilty as it helps their causes.

firkinboo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 If your son is old enough for a house share then why not let HIM figure out what to do with his plastic bags???
