Walmart/Target and Publix have bins for your plastic shopping bags at the front. I always collect for 2 weeks then drop it off. -
Walmart has a bin near the entrance for plastic shopping bags. However I use the reusable ones whenever possible, any plastic bags I do accumulate go to the bins in the retail stores. -
The investment in reuseable insulated grocery bags is so worth it. Keeps foods cold on the way home and fresh that much longer. Been using the same bags for 8 years now. I wipe them down as needed to keep them hygenic.

I haven't been able to find an insulated bag that can stand up to carrying the weight. They tear after a month or 2 and that compromises their ability to keep things cold. I then have trouble getting them recycled. Frustrating. -
I got mine at Wegmans. It might be helpful to rethink how you use them. They are more sturdy than a paper or plastic bag, but you still don’t want to overload them, just like you wouldn’t overload a plastic or paper bag. For this reason, I have 6 bags and use the older ones for lighter items, and try not to overload the bags, even though itcan be tempting.I also carry them fronm the bottom, not just the handles.
