Hey cheapskates what's the weirdest thing you recycle?
« on: April 28, 2019, 08:53:31 pm »
I recycle ziplock bags.  Sometimes I reuse tea bags but I won't use it more than twice.  Sometimes I reuse paper towels.  If I just use one to wipe my wet hands I will lay it out to dry and use it again.

I reuse paper towels, that have just dried hands. We also reuse the plastic box lunch meat comes in.

Why use paper towels to dry hands with in the first place?   You can buy microcloths at the 99cent store that dry quickly & you can reuse them over & over & wash them.    A pack of 8 are $1.99.   

I refill the stronger plastic water bottles with water from the sink, it has a filtration system on it; not so weird, but the only thing I reuse.

The weirdest thing I would say that I recycle are plastic bags, Ziploc bags, and gift bags or boxes. I like to use plastic grocery bags for garbage.
