And if I forget my bags while at Aldi/Lidl I grab a cardboard box on the way round to put my shopping in. And once home it goes in the recycling.

Can do that at any supermarket. Also the OP was wanting bags for the bin, a box is no good.
I was replying to the people who said about forgotten bags and buying more just because they had none to hand and not the OP and wanting to line bins with them.
Not really. I tend to get a box that fruit and veg come in as they are stronger and bigger. Most of the other supermarkets use plastic crates for fruit and veg. And not all put boxes up on the shelf or they are flimsy and strange shapes.So not much use to me.

= Free Bags
Haven't paid for one since they came in!
Lots of good rubbish bags do I have
Most have them at a central hanger or worse case you have to ask (very rarely)
Even if you have to ask, 99 percent of the time the attendant Hands them to you then wanders off. Only m and s actually scan the bag as they give them to you.
I have no shame stealing bags because I think it’s a !!!! arsed requirement.
