If you keep them out of the garbage, then what do you do with them, when it's time to discard them (if they get torn, or dirty)?

Something you can do, when it is time to toss them in the trash - is cut the handles. It prevents critters from sticking their heads through the hole and being unable to dislodge the bag from their neck. You should do that with 6-pack plastic doodads as well.
