I always used my canvas bags but now im getting delivery, i get all the plastics again. Ive been giving them to dad to use as bins coz they just keep building up at our house as we dont really use them.
The larger stores often offer a service where you can return your plastic bags in store (there are big recycle bins out the front of most stores) and they will recycle them for you. It's a step in the right direction. Check it out here
