Tools and Hardware Reviews of BioBag Compostable Waste Bags, 3 Gallon - 25 count per box
Customer Review: better to use nothing
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these bags to line my compost pale. The bags ended up not helping with the mess and creating a new problem in the process to boot. First, the bag disintegrated and let leachate out into the pale that I still had to clean after I emptied the pale. No time or mess savings whatsoever. Second, when I went to my compost pit to empty the pale, everything came out in a big clump and it was very hard to break the bag apart to let the contents mix throughout the pale. The bag got syrupy and stuck to all the mushy food inside. I used this product for at least a month before I got sick of it and decided to revert to using no lining. I still have to clean the pale out each time I empty it, but its not too bad and no clumps in the compost.Customer Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
I used these bags to line my kitchen scrap pail about three times. The bags are still IN the compost pile. From last YEAR!! The rest of my garbage has composted, but not these bags. Weird...
All in all I think making a new product, whether it's made of biodegradable material or not, seems counterproductive to composting. I mean, the Making of the bags creates waste, right? And uses energy?
In any case, I just get some of the paper out of my recycling bin and line the bottom of the pail with that. Yeah, I hafta clean the pail. I rinse it really well outside and put the water from the rinse in the compost also. Yeah, it's gross. (Pre)compost IS gross. haha!
Customer Review: Works for us
Summary: 4 Stars
We have been using BioBags for about two years now and have been very satisfied with their performance. We use them to line a small covered waste pail, which we call a "cootie bin." We close the bag and empty the pail about once a week, throwing the bag into our compost pile. The bags break down very nicely and fairly quickly. The one thing we have to look out for is that the bags can start to break down in the pail if too much moisture makes it in with the waste and the temperature in the house is warm. I can tell you that's not a mess you clean up more than once. As long as we don't leave the bag in the pail too long, things are fine.Customer Review: Best bio-bag so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our city lets us put table scrapes in our yard waste so I use these bags very regularly. They are more sturdy than others that I've tried but I haven't tested them to see if they will start to decompose if I leave them too long...they're never in the scrap bucket long enough. They feel stronger so I think that it would take a long time for them to start to break down...in comparison to the others I've tried. I can leave these ones in the bucket with food waste in them for about a week, is the longest it's been in there and I can pull them out with no problems. Other kinds I've tried, I've had to double bag more often than not.Customer Review: just right
Summary: 5 Stars
yes, these bags generally don't hold water, or take the kind of stretching a plastic grocery bag can, but are nothing like 'tissue-fragile'; easily collect citrus peel, coffee grinds and such over ~12 days at room temp without any obvious disintegration, and then can still take some, without any problems lifting and tying up after all that; water breathes through nicely along the way, and some mold gets through as well, so containment helps, as does a loose, stretched out position in a waste can; most interestingly, the mold works better in these bags, keeping the smell down a great deal; really, a great product
