With societys increasing awareness of the worlds dwindling supply of natural resources and overflowing landfills, many communities are providing recycling services to its residents.

Most people simply stuff them inside one another where they take an undue amount of space and make it difficult to retrieve when needed again. Inventors Fontana and Pearce have created a means by which reusable bags can be stored and dispensed.

The bags are easily dispensed when needed for user convenience. The use of the Device for Rolling Reusable Shopping Bags provides for neat and orderly storage of reusable grocery bags along with an easy-to-use dispensing system in a manner which is quick, easy, and effective.
