My local coop has drawers where people can leave various CLEAN bottles and containers. Then when somebody wants to buy food from the bulk bins, they use those containers. This not only prevents items from going into the waste/recycling stream but it also reduces demand for NEW containers, bags, bottles, etc. Even if you don't shop at a coop, just bring containers with you and use bulk bins when possible.

The last one is I think the best of all. We need to not use them in the first place, as much as possible! Thanks for these tips. The last one is I think the best of all.
