Compostable Bags for Kitchen Compost Bin, 1.2 Gallon, 125 Count, Certified by BPI and ASTM, Leakproof and Odor Control

We've purchased these before, but this is our first review of them. We've also compared them with other brands and they are our favorite. The bag "composts" very well, by which we mean that if you put moist food scraps in the bag, you don't want to wait too long to transport it out to your compost bin. The more moisture in the food scraps, the more you need to plan ahead.My only concern is that I wish they made one that was a bit smaller, because we have a small family and don't need the bag to be quite so large. (It's not large, just larger than we need.)

These are exactly what I was looking for! I wanted compostable bags and use them for both kitchen waste that can’t go in garbage disposal and for cleaning the cat litter. I’m glad that I don’t have plastic bags now - so much better for the environment.

The best! Thank you for making these bags as they are perfect for storing leftovers for compost. You’re doing your part and helping us in recycling. Haven’t had any problems with them tearing and the quantity is perfect.

Love that I was able to find compostable bags in plastic-free packaging. Fits our kitchen compost can well and easy to tear at the perforated line. I wouldn't say that they're leak-proof since my husband says it's a "leaker" each time he takes out the compost, but we usually only have to empty it 1-2x per week; it has quite a few very moist items in there like coffee grounds and cleaning wipes. But he takes the whole can outside, so it's not a huge deal. It often happened with our previous bags as well, but I like the ease of this box better. Will buy again!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We have used these bags for over a year now. The quality is consistent. They do not leak at all. And the price is reasonable compared to alternatives.

I am very happy with this product. The box is small and the bags come out easily, so it takes up very little space. The bags are stronger than most, so there is less tearing and leaking. I have lived in California and Portland, OR (when Portland actually cared about its trash), and have gone through many bands. This is now my go to.

They are great for compost. Ever since we’ve had to compost food I have used these kind of bags and it doesn’t make your garbage can messy.

I’ve been using these bags for over a year now and have been pleased with the product. However this batch has some major issues with the bags breaking and splitting when placing them in the trash bin. I thought at first it was just my husband being rough with them however we have tried so hard to be gentle every time we place a new one and each time they break. I don’t know if you’ve changed how they were made but they are brittle and when stretched they split. I’m hoping we just got a bad batch and the next case is good however if this continues we will be looking for a new brand of bags.
