My wife got on a kick where she stopped using plastic garbage bags. We weren't using any bags at all and the garbage can was a complete mess! Refusing to clean out the can, I had to find something that would satisfy her "green" requirements. I found the BioBags after some intense internet research! We bought a four-pack of these bags. I was a little concerned about the reviews saying they were too short and not very sturdy. I was very pleased with the bags. These were labeled, "Now Longer and Stronger". They were the perfect size for our garbage can. They folded over the can with at least 8 inches to spare. They are very strong and tied very easily. We're so impressed, we buying 25 boxes to give away as Christmas gifts to our family. Also, no more arguing over who has to clean the garbage can! Great product! Thanks!

Our city has us sort things into compostables, recyclables, and garbage. These bags are must for keeping our kitchen container clean. Have started using them in other trash cans as I wean us off the plastic bags from the grocery and other stores (thanks to reusablebags.com!). They are not super tough. If you put heavy items into your trash, they may tear. Best used for compostables and in small cans around the house (they sell smaller sizes for that purpose).

The bags are the first item I've purchased through this site that I am unhappy with. They are the smallest tall kitchen bags I've seen and they are very thin

These bags are constructed well, but they were too short to fit inside my tall trash can. I'd suggest double checking the size of your can before you order.

I am so surprised ,but I am writing my first negative review on this site Ipurchased the tall kitchen trash bags. they are very small for "tall bags" & do not fit our standard kithcen trash can. The one good point is that they seem to be very strong

These bags are great; much stronger than I anticipated. They are not as cheap as traditional plastic bags, but they offer an easy, "doable" means of reducing our carbon footprint on the environment.

I love these bags! I don't understand the complaints about lack of strength, but admittedly, we compost and recycle in our house. This means we have very little trash to throw away, and it is usually dry (since anything organic gets composted). I love the idea that I am not using a big plastic bag for my trash, and even if it does take a long time to break down in a closed landfill, it will break down as something better than plastic. I think these bags are great for people who have already begun to make changes in how they handle their trash. I will definitely keep using these. Thank you for a GREAT product.

This is a great product. I was driving 30 minutes away to buy them at a small organic food store (only when I needed to make the trip) but they hold so much and they don't tear and they are not bad for the environment! I love them!!!! I wish these were available everywhere!!!! Try them and I guarantee you won't go back to regular garbage bags!

Bags are ok but they rip really easliy, have to be very careful with them when pulling them off the roll and opening them up to put in the trash can.

I read reviews that were mostly positive but one said the bags were too thin, so I ordered one box to be safe. We are very happy with performance and size. I will be ordering more. I have suggested your doggie bags for use in our condo--we have a LOT of dogs.

I've been using Biobags for two years now. I use the lawn & leaf size for yard cleanup, the compost bin size for doggie bomb cleanup and bathroom garbage and the kitchen size for, well, the kitchen. I love knowing that I am not putting my garbage into a plastic bag where it will never decompose. While I want to be earth friendly, I still want a bag that is reliable. In my last shipment from Reusable Bags, my Biobags all had the new and improved label on them. I was excited because every now and then a bag tears on me and it's frustrating, but livable because I know I'm not using plastic, and I was really hoping they had stepped it up a notch. I am so disappointed. These new and improved bags are worthless. I can't even put a tissue into them without them tearing. I've got through a whole roll of the kitchen bags and thrown away more than half of them because they tear when you take them off the roll, they tear when you put them in the waste basket, they tear when you put anything in them, and god forbid you want to take them out of the waste basket, they'll happily dump their entire contents on the floor for you. These were worth the cost before and eased my conscience for putting a bag out to the bin every two weeks, but now, it's a waste of money. I was a big fan for two years and now I'm looking for an alternative product and I know there really isn't one. Biobag, you just lost a customer! For those considering purchasing these today, RUN AWAY, they aren't the bag they used to be!

I was hoping to be able to use these bags for my kitchen trash, however they are too thin for anything heavy. They would be perfect for lightweight trash.

These 13 gallon compostible bags are great! I feel good using them for my kitchen garbage, knowing that the bags are biodegradable and compostable. I am reordering today, having run through the first 3 boxes I ordered.

We don't have to much trash and therefore have a smaller sized kitchen garbage can and these fit wonderfully. If you had a tall can, it looks like you may have some trouble. I also agree that you need to be a little careful when you rip them off the roll or they'll tear, which is bad. Overall I love these and feel good that I need to order them because I no longer have a surplus of plastic bags.
