   Provided they don't come with pre-existing holes in them, they are the   
   perfect size for many non-kitchen waste baskets.  That is what I reuse them   
   for.

   A local mom-and-pop does that.  People bring in their used plastic bags and   
   he reuses them.

   I have also done this, and have received packages from individuals who have   
   done this.

   Sounds like a good plan.   
      
   I was working in retail in the 1980's when they started moving from paper   
   to plastic.  It was "for the environment" back then also... to "Save the   
   Trees!"  So not evey environmental idea turns out to be a good one a   
   generation or so later.
