I recently started stuffing them in 1/2-gallon milk cartons. I wish I'd thought of it years ago!

I have two cartons. When both are full, I take one to the neighbors (who have 3 dogs, and go through a lot of bags on walks).

I also store them in old Kleenex boxes -- the larger size boxes.

Here's an interesting link.

Well, it's cute but pretty time consuming when you can just stuff them into a tissue box. Thanks though --- people come up with the most ingenious things!

I use one of these:

I have mounted on the underside of a wall cabinet in the laundry room and you can barely see it. I'm sure I get many more than 30 bags in it. Very handy for cleaning out the liter box in the same room.

Also, I peel off those paper stickers attached to some fruit and veggies and use them to tape over any small holes in the bags. I rarely have to recycle any bags.

I like the IKEA plastic bag holder ...

I saved a plastic kitty litter container (kind with a hinged lid) next to the litter box and store bags in it. Holds a lot. I have a plastic pitcher under the kitchen sink for the bags I use there-easy to stuff them down and reach in to pull out. Former tissue box under bathroom sinks holds the ones I use as waste basket liners. Ones with (small) holes I use for things I will donate, packing material for mailing items and wrapping up items stored for a move.

I hope they don't become illegal - I'd hate to have to BUY plastic trash bags and packing material that would end up in landfills anyway.

I hoarded them for years because I thought they'd be banned. Finally they're banned (it's actually a lot nicer outdoors without them--it's noticeable!). These storage methods are all a lot better than "jam onto shelf in closet and close door fast".

I make crocheted hanging bags that hang on a door knob for all the plastic grocery bags we find so many uses for.

I have an ikea holder--it's great.

I saw where someone painted something like a large coffee can, and cut a slit in the plastic lid big enough to pull them through.

I use a sac soc.

Toriat, I guess I have something similar. A friend from work many years ago made a few of us a type of "sock" with a handle on one end and elastic openings. I just stuff the bags in it. It's about 16" long.

I also have the simplehuman. Had trouble with it falling off the kitchen paneling when we pulled the bags out, but I bought some thick velcro, and now it stays.

What in the world is this country coming to!! Illegal trash bags? What a mess.

Well, they aren't illegal *trash* bags; they're illegal *shopping* bags. And I think it's interesting that <b>Fori is not pleased</b> says she can see a difference in the cleanliness of the out-of-doors.

Lol, I meant shopping bags. Who knows...maybe next it will be trash bags. :)

Well, there are people who think all plastic should be eliminated. Can you imagine???? We would be going back to the 17th century.

Well, I'd like to see a lot of single-use plastic eliminated--shopping bags, plastic disposable cups--that sort of thing. But not all plastic--there are a lot of things plastic is used for, like plastic replacement heart valves and eye glasses and the like, that we would be foolish to get rid of.

Ikea has a product that allows you to store plastic bags in there. I do like it. - I have to say that I'm from Ontario where one has to pay 5 cents per plastic bag - its to encourage the public to resort to using reuseable bag.. It hasn't really eliminated the use of plastic.. In fact, it would seem that I own more than 20 reusable shopping bags because each time I forget to bring my plastic bags I go buy a new reusable bag.
