Are all plastic bags recyclable?
bags from the grocery store, other stores, etc. I notice some have the recycle symbol on the bottom and some don%26#039;t. does this mean they can all go in with other regular recycling? or to the %26quot;recycle used bags%26quot; area at the grocery store?

If you have loads of unwanted plastic bags in your house you can recycle them yourself to make something more useful...if your feeling a bit arty! Cut off the handles and base, cut into strips and make %26#039;plarn%26#039; (plastic yarn) that you can use for crochet - you can make things like water bottle holders for your bike. If you feel even more arty cut off the handles and base and make into 5-ply plastic fabric - i.e. take 5 sheets of plastic bag (ensure the printed side is not on the outside so ink does not transfer) and place wax paper on top and bottom. Heat on a low-medium heat with an iron for a few seconds and it will fuse together to make a fabric that you can sew together to make messenger bags, etc. Just peel off the wax paper after heating and go! If you need more definite how-to%26#039;s You Tube have a ton of videos to give you a good demonstration of what to do! xxx

Nope.Most plastic bags are bio-degradeable,which means they can%26#039;t be recycled but they will rot into the earth and dissapear,though this usually takes at least six years.

No. They are considered trash. The bags get caught in the machines at the recycling station.
