We have used them for doggie pooh (wally world bags are great for this) and now we will be using the clean bags for packing when we move this summer.

Use them a lot as trash bags for the small cans.

We used to have recycling for plastic grocery bags but haven't seen it in some time. It is not one of the items allowed in our recycle bin.
I reuse them as trash bags, or for wrapping stuff to haul on my bike in rainy weather. But, I accumulate more than I can use - so to the landfill.

We keep some and those some away. The ones we keep we use them as trash bags.

I keep a few to reuse, donate some to the library if I have a lot--they use them when people are checking out lots of stuff, or it's raining out. Sometimes, too, I save a wad of bags up and bring them to my Grandmother--she's obsessed with saving plastic bags to use as waste can liners, and won't just buy a box of them at the store.

Like Ziploc bags? We wash them out and refuse (most of) them.

I don't save them all, but I do keep some in the bottom cabinet. They make for good trash bags and bags for wrapping up old newspapers to be recycled.

Small waste cans, wrap food stuff temporarily in the refrig, stuff hats with them, pick up rotting stuff like molding pumpkins (like you would with dog poo), wrap books and other stuff with them to carry out in the rain, and recently I tied up a fake poinsettia plant with one to place in storage.
I've used them for many things.

The ones with holes get thrown away. The ones with no holes get used for used kitty litter.

Keep them to be reused. I use them for the small wastebasket in my bathroom.
