Suggestions on what to do with those extra bags:
1. I give ours to the school for the book fair. -- GS T331 & T2313
2. We did a Girl Scout cookie booth last weekend and we used the bags (both boy and girl scouts) for the customer cookie purchases! Maybe it will help spread the word a little for next year! -- GS T3292, T2515, & T1748
3. Some of the food banks re-use plastic bags for their clients. As do some of the consignment shops. -- GSCM Service Unit 59
4. Include them with your recyclables in the county recycling bin. Put them all in one bag and tie them up.
5. Take them to one of the food stores and deposit them into their plastic bag recycling bin.
6. Find a dog owner that needs bags for their daily walks.
7. The following are taking plastic bags as well as other shopping bags for them to use for their shoppers:
