I just use them like trash bags /bin liners. I have fabric reusable ones I just forget or are unable to bring half the time.

Re: throwing them out vs recycling them, our bags you can only recycle at the store themselves...so just a bit too much friction to bother with. I can't recall ever seeing or hearing of anyone recycling them that way either.

They sell those kinds of bags here too, but these are the ones that a lot of people in this thread are talking about
