Visit http://www.plasticbagrecycling.org. Click the "Consumer" tab, and then choose your state from the pull-down menu to find the location nearest you.
Visit http://www.earth911.org, and under "Find a Recycling or Reuse location," enter "plastic bag" in the "what" box, your zip code, city or state in the next, and then hit "go".
Look for recycle bins at most large grocery and retail stores.
Check with your local jurisdiction to discover further options for recycling.
