What you can do with your #4 PLASTICS

Recycle: Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), commonly found in plastic wrapping films for food or dry cleaning, as well as grocery or sandwich bags, is accepted by very few curbside recycling programs. Unfortunately, most plastic bags will end up in the trash. However Whole Foods, Wal-Mart, and Wegman's Food Marts will recycle any plastic bags if you take them to the store. Check the Earth 911 website to see if your municipal recycling center accepts number 4's.

Substitute for sandwich bags
by MissJen71 on May 15, 2007 - 12:54pm
There is an awesome variety of containers that hold sandwiches and snacks.  One of which I use in my kids school lunches.  Wonder makes this little container in the shape of a sandwich and it holds a sandwich perfectly, I've also used it for cookies, crackers and brownies.  My kids love it and it stops sandwich bag waste, which I felt guilty every time I threw one out, I would even wash them out and save them...silliness!  Now I don't even buy them.
