We save these bags for garbage. However, since we started using a waste digester (see earlier <a href="http://www.greenlivingottawa.com/2007/05/15/composting-meat-citrus-coffee-grounds-and-pet-waste/" rel="nofollow">post</a>) we only have about one grocery bag of garbage every two weeks and that's mostly plastic packaging waste, so maybe we don't even need to use a grocery bag to contain it.

We use these plastic bags, but if we could find a better alternative, we could eliminate those. Thanks, Irene What do you use to hold your garbage?
