POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — Many people find themselves with a surplus of reusable shopping bags, often tucked away in kitchen cabinets or pantry corners. These bags, while eco-friendly, can quickly accumulate and become clutter.

Instead of tossing them, consider donating unused bags to food pantries, shelters, or thrift stores. Organizations like the Community FoodBank of New Jersey accept clean, undamaged bags for their clients. Keeping only the most useful ones and placing them in visible spots can encourage regular use and reduce waste.
