But I now have a great use for them during the rest of the year.<br /><br />We recently got curbside recycling in town, so no more schlepping miles to the transfer station with our recyclables - whoo hoo! <br /><br />I use big paper shopping bags in our pantry to contain our recycling in the kitchen until I go out to the garage to put it all in our huge roll-out bin. I have to cut off any plastic handles because we don't recycle those or plastic bags.<br /><br />This system keeps any wet soda cans and bottles from leaking inside the big curbside bin. That in turn would attract dirt and bugs. <br /><br />And if I have to clean the bin (which I won't have to do often with this shopping bag method), I'd have to tip it over onto its side and crawl inside to scrub it out.That's not a job I want to do on a regular basis, especially if it can easily be avoided.Anuhttp://www.morebarkforyourbuck.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-54042371448081007072012-03-15T11:34:36.276-04:002012-03-15T11:34:36.276-04:00Great idea!

When you live with a crafty child you have plenty of paper bits to recycle.Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547001714523524390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-91525480835059665482012-03-15T09:39:28.032-04:002012-03-15T09:39:28.032-04:00I love those bags ...

You've given me food for thought ... time to get them out and put them to good use. ;-)Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-65932991944864765952012-03-15T07:38:27.852-04:002012-03-15T07:38:27.852-04:00What a great idea!
