Stores that Reward You for Bag Recycling in the US

Stores that reward shoppers for bringing their own bags and recycling are listed below.

Shopping Bag rebates are common across the USA, and eventually we may follow in the footsteps of other countries around the world. Many nations - Australia, Bangladesh, Italy, South Africa, Taiwan and Ireland, just to name a few - are either taxing or banning plastic bag use. Check out our Plastic Bag News page for more details on what's happening here in the US and around the world.

Stores with Rebates:

• Hannaford Stores offer a 5 cent per bag rebate on fabric bags only used for your purchase.
• Price Chopper Stores offer a 3 cent per bag rebate on any bag that you bring and re-use for your purchase.
• QFC (Quality Food Centers) credit 3.5 cents to the Nature Conservency for every bag you bring and use
• Safeway also offers a 3 cent per bag rebate, discounted from your purchase total.
• Trader Joe's gives you an entry into their weekly store drawing for a $25 store certificate.
• Whole Foods Markets offer a 5 cent rebate for every bag you bring and use

There are many small chain stores that reward bag use throughout the US - Food Co-ops, Health Food Stores, small chains and Mom and Pop Stores. Our goal here at rags-to-bags.com is to eventually catalog as many as possible, for your benefit. If you have any info to share with us, we'll be glad to include it here. Please contact us.
