free zip looc bags, wax paper, and wrapping paper

1.Save the inside of cereal bags for wax paper
2. Wash out chip bags and reuse the shiny side for wrapping paper
3. Throw used zip locs into the washer with laundry, remove, hang on fridge with a magnet to dry for another use .
4. Use popcorn from packaging to string up for Christmas trees.

Happy Recycling!

I don't think I'd do the potato chip bag thing, but everything else sounds feasible.

Great ideas!

I recycle my zip lock bags but didn't know I could put them in the laundry. Do you put them in side out?

I also save my milk bags. They are great for freezing veggies in!

Will keep the cereal bags in mind next time I empty a bag.
