Don’t Throw the Sack

Posted by Lyndsey P. Bakos-Schneider

An astounding 30% of landfills in the US are devoted to black garbage bags.  Set your own reusing scheme for garbage bags by transferring your trash to a single outdoor receptacle and reusing the bags in the inside trash cans whenever you can.  If skipping the trash bag is not an option, at least buy recycled garbage bags, made from a variety of reused plastics.  They are available from most supermarkets and hardware stores.  There’s no difference in quality and you’ll be making your garbage a little bit greener.
