Keep going, Dizzi, only another 95 lines to go.

I have also had some degrade in cupboards. Not easy to clean up all the little bits.

Huia.

Fred is off in a dither to check the huge carrier bag collection in the under stairs cupboard :-S.

The hospice shop in which I work likes to receive carrier bags. If you have any large ones they are very useful for duvets and cushions and the likes. We are always hunting for large ones.

Huia.

Greetings to Chloe who is lovely :-),hey not a bad idea at that .i could drop them off at the hospice along with some of the other bric a brac.
Thanks for the tip :-D, Fred

i used store my carriers
behind a raiator in the kitchen only to find
when the new heating system was put in
there was hundreds of them all tattered and dropping to bits
so now i throw most out and just keep a few to use as bin bags

THEY STILL DISINTERGRATE IN THE CHARITY SHOP

I can,t understand, why? instead of Plastic they don,t revert to the old type of Paper Carrier Bags which you used to get, reasonably strong and totally recyclable.solve a few problems **M**. :-D

primark do paper carrier bags, they break before you get home by tearing and all ya shoppin falls out :-(

But do they have String handles in a re inforced part ? if they,re made and packed properly they could last for at least three trips,then be either burnt of recycled . ;-)

they have thin card handles lol

The carrier bags in our hospice shop are not there long enough to disintegrate. We get a lot of customers in there. They would have the problem of the disintegrating bags! Otherwise you can put them out in the rubbish collection, knowing that they are not going to be a permanent problem at the tip.

Huia.

As much as i would enjoy spending time counting the amount of carrier bags i have stashed in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. I don't think i have that long to live!! :-D

Bags also deteriorate in freezers!!
Ive had stuff wrapped in carrier bags that have fallen apart!

Many store carrier bags break down really fast and boy, do they make a mess, it's as if a million mice have been to tea!

So annoying when you pick them up and the contents fall all over the place intermingled with bits of carrier, and very hard to clean up too.

Most supermarkets around here have a recycling container for unwanted carrier bags. I use mine a few times for shopping, then as bin bags.

I have had the 'mouse' problem in a cupboard when I put away small amounts of knitting wool until the school needed it.
What a mess!

i hate mice Gwyn
i always have poison under the floor boards
just incase one gets in

Don't. Get. Me. Started. On. Biodegradable. Shopping bags :-( :-( :-( :-(

Hoarder. House clearing. I'll say no more :-( :-(

********* nightmare. :-(

Black bin bags also disintegrate in the loft. We put several things in black bags to keep the moth out of em only to find when we were dong a rubbish tip clear out that they looked like the moths had had a big fed on em. Black confetti all over the place and not easy to get off insulation. OH had now boarded out the loft and we use old cartons for storage now ,Bought some space bag for jumpers duvets etc that you can get loads in and when deflated nothing will get in ..
