    I donate mine to a local facility, the Hope Lodge, which offers a place for those receiving cancer treatments a place to stay. Ask around, there may be places similar that would welcome your plastic bags.

    Yes, recycle them. Any bin that accepts plastic. Our grocery store actually has a bag bin outside for just that,

    My previous boss used to knit them. The walmart in our area has a place to drop them.

    As for cloth bags - keep them in your vehicle and when going shopping put them in the seat where you can see them when you get out. That's how I got in the habit of taking mine in.

    There are people who "weave" these into sleeping mats for the homeless. Maybe google that and hopefully there is a place close enough to you.
