Thats not how amazon packs your merchandise, but rather the manufacturer.

Not all, but just under HALF of the crap I am still going to have to throw away... Tightly rolled up to conserve space in the bin... Yet bin is full, hence it being stored on washing machine! Complete fucking overkill for packaging.

Yes, it says on it '100% Reusable' but reusable for what? Wiping my fucking ass on?

Reusable or not, it's still 100% useless to me, and still ends up in the bin...
You cant recycle most plastic bags in the traditional sense of curbside pickup. Supermarkets and stores out here have special bins to drop them in.
