CILCK HERE

So it took me years but I finally used up the whole box. The one thing I noticed is the past 3 months the bags started splitting or breaking down easier in my countertop bin. That might be because it took me 3 years to go through them since I live alone but besides that they have been great!

Bought this liner for a Behrens 5.6 L metal compost pail after running out of the Behrens brand bags. They fit okay-ish. Slightly small considering that it’s supposed to be a 6L bag, but there’s some minimal rolling over the edge of the pail, so it technically fits. Now, these bags HAVE to be compostable, because they are the flimsiest, most worthless bag I’ve seen. They come in a large roll, with perforations between each bag. I have tried to separate bags as delicately and slowly as possible, but they tear right in the middle about 80% of the time anyway. I swear I hear the roll softly laughing at my misery as I begrudgingly use the torn bag anyway since I’m to stubborn to simply throw out anything I spent money on. But that muffled laughter becomes a cacophony of demonic glee every time I go to empty the bin. The foul drippings of rot and decay pour forth from the worthless sack, mocking me as I gently lift the back from its dwelling place. The malodorous juice at the bottom of the pail is the coup de grace, a final bitter reminder of the worthlessness of this product. Be warned, fellow composter, these bags will be a waking nightmare for you as long as they exist in your household. I pray my warning reaches you before you suffer the same fate as I.

These compostable bags are perfect for kitchen food scraps. They fit well in our compost container and make cleanup easy—just fill them up and toss the whole bag into the compost. It keeps the bin clean while still supporting our composting efforts. We like them so much we’ve set them up on reorder to make sure we always have them on hand. Highly recommend for anyone looking to simplify their compost routine!

I love composting and these bags work well. Be careful when you break them apart; they are easily ripped. That is necessary for composting I suppose. I put food in it and keep it in the fridge until ready to drop it in the bin provided by my condo here in Chicago.

These are so fragile. About every 3rd bag tore as I pulled it out of the box. I ended up composting the rest of the roll. Just not worth the frustration.

The bags work for my small 1 gallon compost bin but are very flawed. The material breaks easily and my damp coffee filters will leak out the bottom of them. Overall I'll continue using them until the pack runs out but I would not recommend for anyone buying them for composting food scraps.

I shopped around for price and quality. This one fits both bills. The bags are easy to roll out of the box (which is recyclable cardboard). I have a 1.3 gallon kitchen pail for compostable materials. I have two pails--one for wet food and the other for nut shells, paper that is compostable but not recyclable. These bags fit perfectly, do not break even with wet ingredients put in. I tie them off when nearly full, put in my refrigerator until I have a few bags and then take to my local organic market (MOMs locally) that collects compostable materials, since I don't have a garden. For cheap bags, they are high quality.

These are great bags - they are big, strong, and inexpensive. My only complaint (and it's a biggie) is that they don't breakdown in a reasonable amount of time. I used them in my kitchen compost container, and then dumped them into my compost tumbler. The kitchen scraps (and my other garden waste) broke down as usual, but the bags did not. I had to pick them out, month after month, and attempt to compost them again, but they are very slow to break down. My garden is littered with tiny pieces of green bags. I'm sure that eventually it will all biodegrade, but it created a lot of extra work in my composting, and added very little. Eventually I just stopped using them, and put my kitchen scraps in the container "naked", and just wash it out after. We are using the rest when we take the dog for a walk. 7/22/22 Update - It's been about 8-9 months since my original review, so I wanted to add a follow-up note to say that the bags have still not broken down in my compost tumbler. Every month I've to pick them out of the finished compost and move them back into the unfinished bin, but I'm done with that. Last night I gave up, and just started throwing them in the trash, but who knows how long my garden beds will be littered with green bits of un-composted bags. Some other reviewer said that they are only "Commercially Compostable". I don't know what that really means, but I wish that I had known it before buying these bags. BTW, we've found that they are useful for other purposes, but useless for kitchen waste composting, which is why I bought them.
