Some memories from the 70s and 80s in Poland: We did wash the plastic bags in order to reuse them, which is now unthinkable. I remember mom sticking them to the bathroom tiling in order to dry.
Also, no plastic garbage bags. Everybody just hauled buckets of trash to the big container to come back home with an empty bucket. This is also unthinkable now.
