EASY: Buy in Bulk

This tool finds stores with bulk sections near you. Bring your own reusable bags to a bulk section and get your snacks there. Unfortunately, I know from experience that many of the bulk salty snack options are limited.

Medium: Terracycle

Terracycle recycles certain brands of chip bags if you clean them and mail them in. Check out participating snack brands here.
