What to Do With Gift Bags: Reuse or Recycle?

Gift bags are a common item that can accumulate quickly, especially during holidays and birthdays. Instead of throwing them away, consider reusing or recycling them responsibly.

Reuse:

If the gift bags are in good condition, they can be reused for future gift-giving occasions. Simply fold them up and store them until needed again. You can also pass them on to friends or family members who might find them useful.

Recycle:

If the gift bags are made of paper, they can be recycled with other paper products. Remove any ribbons or decorations before recycling. Plastic gift bags, on the other hand, cannot be recycled and should be disposed of in the regular trash.
