1.3 Gallon Compost Bags for Kitchen Countertop Bin, Compostable, 50 Count | Food Scrap & Food Waste Bags, Compostable Bin Liners

I've been using these for several years and they're perfect. They fit very well in my compost bucket near my sink. Each week I take out to my compost pile and within 3 months they have broken down into the soil, about the same speed as the food scraps. Not sure if they would break down faster if I turned the compost more frequently, but I'm happy with the result.

We use these for our countertop compost bin. It helps keep the bin itself clean. The perforations work well and the bags open easily. They hold up well. They were a good value, at least relatively speaking. I believe I have a 2 quart compost bin, and these fit well. As with any compostable bag, if you leave stuff in it too long, it will begin to leak, but with emptying two or three times a week, these seem to be okay. I used this brand, and then switched to try a different brand. We had all sorts of difficulty getting those off of the roll without tearing into a bag. That's not a problem with these, and we are back to this brand.

These bags work great if you empty it every couple of days, but we usually go a week or longer and the bag is completely leaking by then. Glad to know it’s compostable, but wish it lasted a little bit longer. Also wondering why packaging says something about the bag only being compostable at commercially compostable sites?? Not sure why it says that but it fit into my compost bin well and works perfect if I empty more often. Thank you for making earth friendly products!

I suppose I could have read the description more thoroughly but they are a little smaller I was expecting. I think they’re designed for one of those small compost buckets that some folks use. Smallness aside, they’re quite a bit sturdier than other composting bags I’ve used. They do rip sometimes if they’re too full but I don’t think you can expect them to be bullet proof. They never tear when I’m ripping one off of the roll, which happened almost every time with the other bags I used, so I’ll get these again.

Great product

We use these in our 1.3 gallon "Utopia Kitchen Indoor Compost Bin" - they fit it well. They are BPI certified, which our municipal composter insists upon. Like all compostable bags I've seen, they are very thin. They almost always break and allow liquid into the compost bin, but this is because we press down hard on the contents to get a lot into the counter-top bin before trips to the recycling center. So in a sense, you might think we don't need bags at all. But in fact, even with this treatment, they hold together well enough to keep the bin mostly clean when they are emptied. Usually only liquid remains in the bin, and it can be easily rinse out prior to inserting another bag. Without a bag, the bin would be harder to clean for its next use.

I understand that these are meant to compose easily, but they tear very easily. No matter how carfully I try to tear off a new bag they will rip at the perforation or the bag itself will rip. It is a great size, but we lose one bag due to tearing and breakage for about every 3 bag!

Have been using these bags for over a year now and I appreciate the overall quality of them. In my compost can in my house these last about a week or more with waste in them before they start to really degrade. In terms of how fast they break down it just depends on how you compost. I have several bags that are still around in my bin but that’s because my outdoor compost bin is often on the dry side and out of the sun. With better conditions these would probably compost sooner.

These are BRILLIANT! I am very keen to try to reduce my non-degradable plastic waste and tried these - quite half-heartedly, assuming that they would fall apart, rip or just generally fail to live up to expectations. How wrong I was! They are really just as good as high-end brands such as Brabantia or Simplehuman and, although more expensive than super-cheap brands, are very reasonable in terms of cost per bag. They don't leak, the seams are strong and durable, the ties don't snag, AND they decompose within your lifetime! 5 stars! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone trying to be a little more eco-friendly.

I have had trouble with leaking bags. Even brand name bags, but Lucky Family Green Compost Bags, have been very good. I think I had one that did leak a bit

Je les trouve un peu mincesi

Súper cómodo que las puedas usar directamente para la Composta

The first bag we used ripped and there was garbage over the floor. We now double bag and will not order these again.
