Plastic bags and containers are the most wantonly discarded items. They clog sewerage and poses one of the greatest threats to environment. In your own way,how do you dispose these items ?

We have a recycling bin that gets collected every week by the council, so I just put them in there, I usually use the plastic bags though there are heaps of uses for them around the house.

i hope plastic bags and containers are banned from this universe but till then I collect them and give them to people who collect waste for recycling, they can earn a few rupees from that and it helps in preserving the environment.

I recycle them. I usually reuse them for other things. I use them until they tear and then I recycle them. I don't get money for them but I feel better knowing that they can be recycle and reused again for grocery bags.

Plastic bags and containers should be recycled. Plastic bags can be made into several things. You can make a plastic knot or cord. I make flower base out of plastic container, just add some decor on the container. You don't have to throw them away. If you recycle, nothing will be thrown away.

well we reuse it for some other stuff. i think this is the best way because recycling is really not in the governments agenda here. but when there are segregated bins in malls and such i throw them in the appropriate bin.
