Why, here on the forum I don't know how many lists / questions come by with what should I take with me. And the only thing that is never on there are waste bags. How about we all start taking some waste bags with us and advise everyone who comes up with the question of what to take with them to put some waste bags in their backpack. Oh, and they are also for sale in Spain. Just sayinCan we crowd-fund more bags?

I knew there was a reason I wade through some of the drivel on here (although I’m guilty of contributing to it); it’s because once in a while someone states the bleedin’ obvious which has eluded everyone else.Why, here on the forum I don't know how many lists / questions come by with what should I take with me.

What a great suggestion.
I picked up a couple of the nylon bags in 2021 and 2022. I'm afraid I'm guilty as charged, having used them for laundry and shopping and taking them home as souvenirs!In later years the yellow bags were made of reusable nylon, a bit more environmentally aware, with different agencies doing the funding and distribution. These items were also great pilgrim laundry and shopping bags, thousands were carried home as souvenirs.
Most of us acquire the occasional plastic bag, en route, that works fine!Can we crowd-fund more bags?
I’m having a week off.And we aren't even ' tired and emotional '.

Hi, does Spain still have plastic bags? We haven't had them for a number of years.On my 2012 camino when I ran out of trash bags I discovered that asking Hospis, bar-owners and even those municipality guys with their little carts and collections of brushes "¿podrías darme una bolsa de basura?" Even my phrasebook Spanish produced the desired result
Oh Rita, fair Camino Saunterering Lady! I had two bouts of Covid 2023, which has done a number on my "breathlessness" and, at 79, slowed my planned weight loss. . So 11 April, my fourth CS, I plan to be "sauntering forth" from Roncesvalles and make it as far as Viskarret. First CF in 2002, I made it as far as Larrasoana. Well, them days is gone for good! I live in Portugal, no worries about flight homes, staying in Spain until the heat has me sweltering back to Coimbra. And "saunter" for you looks like ...?YES! - At least on the Forum we can promote not only trash awareness but trash action.
I am planning my second Camino Francés and this will definitely be on my list. A couple of my lightweight shopping bags are perfect to collect trash and empty out at appropriate bins.
I am a saunterer rather than a walker so have plenty of time to collect trash. Maybe a reusable latex glove or two might be useful too.
Thank you
