They are likely reused, often as trash can liners.

Indeed, I don't know anyone who doesn't reuse the free plastic bags they get from stores, even if it's only a single reuse.

The other thing to note is that plastic bags are naturally waterproof. You can even wash (more like rinse) them if you so desire, but they also don't tend to attract dirt, unlike the woven types.
