Default Clear Recycling Bags.......

Where do you buy your clear trash bags that are used for recycling? They don't seem that easy to find.

Publix, Winn Dixie, Lowes. If you can't find them, ask. Sometimes they are on the end caps away from the other bags.

We get ours at Wal-Mart - down by the regular garbage bags.

Default recycle bags

Got mine at Lowes or Home Depot where the trash bags are. They're light blue see-through and the box is marked "Recycle Bags".

You're NOT allowed to use these. I think the packaging (Glad brand?) shows a clear bag but inside, they are blue. There was a memo put out last year about these. You MUST use CLEAR bags. I get mine at Wal-mart; they are cheap large, clear, trash bags so you can fit more stuff in them--more economical. I usually put one out every other week.

I use blue and they always pick up my recycle.

This policy was reviewed and reversed after several weeks. (They decided the light blue bags were clear enough.)

Thanks, I never saw the reversal message and my neighbor is the only one who I see uses them. I still think clear is better.
