Large Compostable Drawstring Trash Bags - 8-10 Gallon, 60 Pack | Plastic-Free Kitchen & Bathroom Garbage Bags with Drawstring Handles | Thick Bin Bag Liners for Green & Food Waste

We have been using these for more than a year and have had maybe one bag that leaked. I am impressed with these and hope they truly are compostable so I can feel a bit better about having to put things in the trash. We compost most food here so there is not that much wet/moist food that is put in these bags usually but even when we have had that, the bags have held up. They are easy to open, have no scent and seem to be one of the better values when you do the math. They are also unusually thick compared to their plastic counterparts - which I like.

These are great bags. Although I don't compost myself, I want to get away from using plastic. These are nice and thick and have never broken or decayed on me

Love these. They don’t break before I get it outside. Tough enough to handle a full bag of kitty litter.

For the most part these bags hold my family's trash for a full week(4-5 ppl). Depending on what's thrown out, sometimes I have found some wetness outside of the bag and if it has too much weight, the handles will tear. Biggest problem was after getting down to the last bags (bought two boxes that lasted since dec 2020), they would tear easily just being removed from the box- lost a total of 2 bags that way. I'm guessing people having problems roughly throw objects in the trash that shouldn't be anyway- it's not meant for liquid- that's what your sink is for, it's not meant for cardboard- recycle that, food waste should be composted if you have that option, and if your trash is that heavy the problem is more likely people not changing their waste and purchasing habits. Using biodegradable bags don't help relieve your plastics guilt if you don't reduce buying that in every other part of your life.

Excellent quality.

I’ve been using these trash bags for 2 years now and in the last two boxes I’ve purchased, almost every bag splits or the ties break, even without being over stuffed or heavy and being very carful not to tug too hard while taking them out of the trash can. I’m never buying these again, they used to be great and I never had any issues. It was good while it lasted I guess, but I’ll be throwing my last unopened box of them away and finding a new brand from here on out.

This is probably the best compostable bag I’ve ever used. Unlike other compostable bags I’ve tried, this one doesn’t fall apart the second it gets wet. It actually holds up pretty well, which is a big deal when you’re dealing with compost, where things can get a little messy. I’ve had bags in the past that just disintegrate as soon as moisture hits them, so it’s nice to find one that doesn’t have that problem. That being said, it’s not completely waterproof. If you’re putting wet compost in it, you will see some liquids seep through, so it’s not the best option for anything that’s too soggy. However, the bag itself doesn’t break down or fall apart, which is what really sets it apart from the competition. It’s still going to do its job without falling apart the moment you remove it from your compost bin. So, while it’s not perfect, this bag is definitely worth getting. If you’re looking for a compostable option that actually holds up and doesn’t disintegrate at the first sign of moisture, this is your best bet. It’s durable enough for everyday composting tasks, and that alone makes it a solid choice.

They are great for their intended purpose. They are only meant to hold shredded paper or compostable food products. Therefore, they are not very durable or sturdy but I don’t believe compost bags are intended to be that. We purchased them as our city now want all shredded paper put in compost bags. We found the ones that you can buy from local stores and Costco too small for this purpose. I am very happy with the product I received.

These are the best bags that I’ve found to line my large green compost bin. They are strong and much larger than what I could get at Walmart. The handles are easy to tie.

Much better than the bags provided by the authority which split and are quite small.

I bought these because our city does not allow plastic bin liners (even compostable ones) and this one said in big words " I am not plastic " as it says its a 100% plant-based bag and because it had that in big words I figured awesome, the city will know easy that it's not plastic. But they arrived today and the printing has definitely changed, the bag now just has everything below the " I am not plastic" but not that part. It also at the bottom has a warning about leaving this plastic bag with kids. So now I am wondering if they changed the formula from 100% plant to containing some compostable plastic? Unsure but have asked for a return as I can't use compostable plastics :( really thought these were going to be the answer to a non compostable plastic bin liner. Other than that issue I didn't actually use the product, but it felt nice and strong, and had no odor I could sense.

These are really strong and an absolute pleasure to use in our kitchen bins. Everything is mostly composted or recycled so no very heavy refuse going in. No leaks or tears - just have to be gently pulling them over the edges of the bin. Most importantly, no microplastics and hoping they totally biodegrade and no nasties killing off our wildlife etc. Yay! I rarely leave reviews, but had to as they are so fab. After being left saddened with the large plastic (Brabantia) or pretend eco versions (Ecozone) bin bags, I was delighted to find these and this size works just fine and having been taking them out every 2-3 days.
