Recycled Recyclable Recycling Bags!

I recycle. It could be the only positive thing I do on a regular basis.

In fact, since my office doesn’t recycle, I even bring my scrap paper home with me.

The problem with recycling is, where to put the recycling. Now I use an ugly old shopping bag to hold my paper, and a tall plastic giftwrap container for my bottles and cans.

They add much visual crappiness to my home.

That’s why I’ve invented Recycled Recylable Recyling Bags! (RRRBs for short.)

One’s made of recycled paper, one’s made of recycled plastic, but they’re the exact same dimensions. So they look like they belong together. And with a screen-printed design, they can have visual appeal.

Best of all, the bags themselves are recyclable, along with their contents. So when they’re full, just toss the whole thing in its bin! No more dragging your recycling downstairs, then hauling the containers back up.

These would be sold in packs – let’s say with five of each. True, this creates more waste, but if it encourages people to recycle, it’s worth the tradeoff. I think.

Comments:
would you make a glass bag for the glass recyclables?
 
Good point. I didn't think of that because where I live, glass, plastic and metal go in the same bin.

If it's different for you, you just have to relocate to fully enjoy the RRRB's.
