I really like this idea! I never remember to leave enough time in the morning to put my recycling bin out (we’re not supposed to put it out the night before), so I tend to go to the recycling center on the weekend. I keep a tall kitchen trash can in the kitchen for my recycling, so I’m guessing your bag would be about the right size. Then, instead of lugging the trash can with me, I can just take the bag.
My city is looking for an alternative to the open bins that we currently have, because trash blows all over the neighborhood (wouldn’t be as bad if people didn’t put it out the night before… just sayin’) and the put for the “clear, recyclable, plastic bag” idea out to the community and opposition was swift and vocal. I like my small bin, but wish it had a cover. Large, wheeled bins were deemed impractical (we have a lot of 3-decker homes that don’t have space to store multiple bins). So for now, I’m happy to make the trips to the recycling center. But, it closes from November to May, and these bags would make a more attractive way for me to store them over the winter (or until I remember to put out the bin!).
The next time I get some tall kitchen trash bags (we have to buy special city bags), I’m going to measure one for this express purpose! Such a great idea!
