Some vacuum bags may allow you to empty and reuse as possible, and filters can be cleaned and reused. Lint may go in organics if mostly pet hair/dried food bits from hard flooring, or in the trash if carpets and/or walk off mats due to the plastic fibers.
Have unwanted unused bags and filters from an old model? Offer or donate these to your community for reuse.
