Drop off at a local Goodwill
Goodwill locations in Lincoln accept clean plastic bags or cloth reusable bags to reuse for purchases made at Goodwill. Simply stuff your plastic bags into a bag, drop them off at the checkout counter at your Goodwill of choice, and that is all there is to it!
Donate to Becky’s Beds of Bags
Becky Topil, a Lincoln resident, helps organize a program where plastic grocery bags are woven into beds that are then donated to shelters in Lincoln. The program has had great community support, which means bags aren’t always needed – check the link below for more information!
