user group) and let someone else enjoy it. Please DO NOT put usable furniture out with your trash!

Return them to a local store that recycles plastic bags. You may also include clean and dry plastic bags such as the plastic wrapping from paper towels & toilet paper, bread bags & non compostable produce bags.
