Your dirty clothes can keep in normal plastic bags. The zip-lock bags are for ur later part of BMT as well as army life. Don't fret over it yet, since u are still a rec, and the army don't expect u to know anything YET.

As for ur clothes, just bring 1-2 sets of home clothes to sleep in. Wear a collar t-shirt and jeans tomorrow when enlisting. You most probably book out in your No4. Bring ur own shaver, toothbrush/toothpaste and underwear, the rest will be provided. Also bring a pen and notepad along for taking notes during lectures.
When u book out in 2 weeks time, go beach rd and buy 1-2 sets of PT kit. And whatever stuff ur sergeant told u to.
Take care man, and see u in this forum in 2-3 weeks time!! Huat ah!
