Recycling at its Most Humble

Since coming here to South Carolina I have been thrilled to find that recycling is part of the Wednesday trash pick up.  Still, there are some things that those nice men do NOT want to pick up.  Grocery bags is one of those non-pick-up-able items.  What to do, what to do?

This is what I do:

Pretty ugly but it works well.  When I get half a dozen grocery bags, I insert them one inside another and put them into the trash bins.  Since all our trash receptacles are small ones, this works perfectly.  AND we never have to buy garbage bags.  Win-win! 

Plus I never feel like I have to completely fill the garbage bag before pulling it out, tying it up, and tossing it in the big 90-gallon rolling bin outside.
