Per pound a lot of plastic is worth more then steel or aluminum, but it's not as dense.
Tossing plastic in the trash is just dumb, landfills are expensive and that cost continues for the rest of our lives and if you are worried about not having a liner for your waste basket then maybe you are producing to much trash, but just like the bag that a sandwich comes in at SubWay sandwich shops is only used for 30 seconds while you take it from the counter to the table, a lot of plastic bags are pointless and end up littering the streets, a friend of mine a few years ago did an art project where she picked up plastic bags off the street and twisted them in to a rope nearly 100 feet long, she would come home with arm loads of plastic bags and the shocking thing is, it didn't take that long to collect enough to make 100 feet of rope.
Single use items just don't make sense and there are plenty of cities that have already banned plastic bags and it's worked out fine.
