Provided they don't come with pre-existing holes in them, they are the
perfect size for many non-kitchen waste baskets.  That is what I reuse them
for.

A local mom-and-pop does that.  People bring in their used plastic bags and
he reuses them.

I have also done this, and have received packages from individuals who have
done this.

Sounds like a good plan.

I was working in retail in the 1980's when they started moving from paper

Trees!"  So not evey environmental idea turns out to be a good one a
generation or so later.
