Art Made From Plastic Bags? You Might Be Surprised.
I have a kitchen garbage bowl for compost and regular trash that I take out several times a day. I use the bags for liners in the bathrooms. In addition, I put recycle items in these bags or donations to the thrift stores.
Good idea.
I use as garbage liners too. That is one way. Just seems these things multiply by the dozens.

recycle them.
Keep only what you think you will need and recycle the rest . Put a few in the bedroom for the cloths you donate and for lining small trash cans.
okay, this is going to sound low class...but, I use them as a lazy way to store veggies in the fridge, or left over food in bowls. Just insert and wrap. Wala! instant hill-billy storage and cheap! (hey, my mom's relatives were hill-billies waay back when...no shade there!)
you can crochet them into rugs and reusable grocery bags. A search on the internet will supply many suggestions for crochet ideas.
