Recycling Plastic Bags
I thought I heard on TV that plastic bags can't be recycled, is that true?

There are many counties and cities in Calif that have completely banned plastic bags. Its not a big deal - we get used to bringing our our own bags to all types of stores, including Home Depot, grocery, WalMart, Kohls, Petsmart, etc.
The bill signed by the Gov here in CA starts in May 2015 and ONLY affects large grocery chains and pharmacies. So the department stores hardware stores and smaller stores won't be affected until another time.
But its no big deal - just reuse your bags; rinse them out with soapy water once in a while and store them properly. Afterall, I sure don't put my produce in my carryout bag naked - I use the plastic bags on the roll in the produce dept to package them in. I don't want them contaminated by the grocery carts!
