I DO return my plastic shopping bags back to the store....they ask shoppers to return them and provide the cans outside to deposit them in so they must be making some use of them.

I return my bags to the store, as well, but I do find that my grocery store, Giant, hardly prioritizes it. The container is usually overflowing and it is placed next to the Exit and not to the Entrance door, which is beyond stupid.
The whole idea of recycling plastic bags was to "save the trees" -- just another pathetic example of liberal idiocy. Worse, Mobile, which pushed the idea, found it couldn't recycle the plastic bags becuase people would leave receipts in the bags, which would render each recycling batch useless. A Mobile engineer figured out that the solution was not to try to remove the paper but to add more wood to it and turn it into something useful: see https://www.trex.com/
Whenever I shop in DC I pay the $0.05 tax for plastic bags because I figure that the revenue will keep the city from banning plastic bags outright.

Drive BEHIND the store to see the special bin they all go into.
