My local grocery store collects "plastic bags" to be recycled.
But I do not know what are considered "Plastic bags."

I know not all plastics can be recycled as "plastic bags" (like plastic milk bottle etc.)

I know grocery bags are considered plastic bags.
How about those inner plastic lining bags for cereals?
Or outer plastic lining for baby cereal (like gerber baby cereal)

Or outer plastic lining for huggies baby wipes?

Can I bring those to be recycled as plastic bags too?

Are they collecting them to be recycled or simply to be reused? Call the grocery store and ask. :)

Ours will only accept plastic grocery bags for recycling into other grocery bags.

We can put other plastic bags in our recycle bin to be picked up, but at the store they only want their own type of shopping bag.
