SCRAP will take your paper bags (preferably with handles). You can donate them straight to the front retail counter any time the store is open.
The announcement came out recently that recycling drop-off centers are no longer accepting most types of plastic. These changes are due to China no longer accepting most plastic waste from recycling markets in the United States.
