Paper bags are notorious for containing insect larvae. No thank you. Plastic is the way to go for me. I just put all my plastic bags in the trash. Covanta, the recycling facility which serves my neck of the woods in The Villages, incinerates it so none of those plastic bags wind up in landfills. Win-win.
