We get lots of greens here at Red Wagon CSA, be it bagged, bunched or cut heads. 
We weigh and bag lettuce or greens right before you pickup your CSA share. Everything is harvested then rinsed (aka rejuvenated) in the wash station. Next we spin it to dry it as best we can. Crops like arugula, spinach and cut lettuce get weighed and portioned into bags. Greens like kale, chard and collards are bunched.
You can store the greens in the sealed bag you get them in from us if you like, but remember; you still need to wash everything before you eat it. Greens will last at least 5 to 7 days stored in plastic bags. Kale and chard and collards all need to be stored in air tight containers and will last at least a week.
I like to have my greens ready to eat, so I wash and dry them right when I get home from pickup so they are ready to cook or eat for meals during the week. I find they last a little longer too, at least a week and maybe a little longer if I take this extra step. The greens in the top photo were washed, dried and stored in air tight containers and are all 8 days old!
Here is my routine; I carefully snip the little red tape that seals the bag so I can reuse the bags, then I wash and dry the greens and put them back in the bag I got them in. That is why I don’t just rip into the bags, I snip carefully! If you have a salad spinner and room in your refrigerator, the spinner is a great storage container. I only have one salad spinner. If I had more I would use it to store more of the greens, I don’t, thus the reuse of the bags.
I wash all the greens the same; dunk them in clean cool water and drain and dry them. Things like cut lettuce and arugula I spin in the salad spinner to dry. Drying the greens, all types, is important for long storage.
Placing paper towels or dry dish cloths in the container you are storing the greens in keeps the vegetables damp, but not soggy in the bag so you don’t get those weird slimy leaves that make the whole bag go bad.
It just takes a few minutes to do and I find I and more inclined to use the produce if it is ready to eat.
I hope this is helpful.
Happy eating.
