I brought mine to Walmart and filled a shopping cart with them all shoved in there. The sign said no dirty bags and I didn't know if saw dust was considered dirty so I put em in the bin fast LOL
what do you do with your empty bags?

Perhaps list them on freecycle or craigslist, or perhaps a neighbor may want some for trash bags? Advertise the fact that they are great for construction clean up since they are such thick plastic.
I'm seriously short of the regular grocery type bags with handles that I like to use for picking up dog-doo in the yard. Our local stores have a plastic bag ban so you have to bring your own or pay for each paper bag. I'm stuck with using bread bags which aren't as handy for the job. If someone offered those types of bags on craigslist, I'd snatch them up in a heartbeat!

We just throw everything together and put it at road side for pickup by private contractor. Cheaper than the dump who makes us recycle. And either way it All ends up at Semass. Semass is a large 95 acre facility in West Wareham Ma. with a trash burner that generates electricity. The trash is picked over with magnets to get out metal that is recycled and a drop system of some sort that sorts out the ash from unburned products that gets recycled. So anything that burns goes to make electricity that supplies 75,000 people.

I'm best off not shooting my bow any more. Even with 80% let off it gets me in my bum neck ( got crinked up in a car crash, now it crunches and grinds and stuff some 30 years later)..
