Are these meant to be re-used ? or disposed of after each use ?

No one places greater importance on recycling than I, but I would have to draw the line here. Generally these are purchased for use in foreign-to-you places where the simple use of toilet tissue is not acceptable. I would not wish to try to "clean" them for later reuse, but it certainly could be done.

Yes! Just be careful not to puncture and take care in sealing. Yes, they would not be so useful without being reuseable.

They are reusable for only about a week, but after that they are no longer to be used. For that week, rinse and reuse as much as you need!

Yes they are disposable. I am not sure of they are recyclable thou. I believe so.

Yes, you throw them away after one use. That being said, they last for ~12 hours.

No, they cannot really be reused. You could try spraying them with water I guess to experiment but they are not made to be reused. I really think they were worth getting and did last a few months in the original jar of material I had them in, but they eventually dried out and became hard. I do live in a really dry climate thought, so take that into consideration as well.

They are designed to be reusable. Just use a plyer to pull out the pushed in wires from the teeth.

They are reusable, but I do not recommend. The mouse we caught was snapped on his nose, but still alive. He had dragged the trap into the corner of our garage.

They are designed to be disposable after a few uses. I have extended their life by tapping out the dust in a waste can and then rinsing thoroughly. I have even run them through the dish washer which does not seem to harm them. Otherwise, replacing them as needed can be an expensive add-on.

They are reusable too. Just wash and use over and over and over until you break the glass dish. Then recycle them.

No, they are a once-and-toss product. Personally I wouldn't buy them again b/c I don't think they worked AT ALL in the capacity they were advertised for & which I bought them for (diaper pail). The fact that they aren't recycle-able isn't so nice either.

NEVER EVER reuse lids. The bands can be used over again, until they rust, then toss.

I guess they could be reused, depending on what was stored in them, you could cut them open and reseal them. I use them mainly to freeze meat. Therefore, you would not want to reuse them. I don't think I would reuse them at all because of bacteria from foods. Also they are great quality bags.

It depends on the intensity of the conditions. I've been able to reuse them many times, after allowing to dry out. But in very humid conditions or underwater, I've discarded them after a day or two. You'll see them start to come apart when it's time. Also make sure a corner of the insert doesn't get caught in the case closure, it's pretty easy to accidentally do.

Yes, they are reusable. Reused them many times after getting rid of dead mice and voles.

They are one time use, disposable. I wouldn't just use them as storage bags , they are intended to be used with the system.
