Compostable kitchen trash bags: buy carefully

Compostable bags can be useful, but they are not a magic fix. Local composting rules and accepted materials matter more than the label on the box.

What to check before buying

• Whether your local compost or food scrap program accepts compostable bags.
• Bag size and gallon rating for your bin.
• Moisture handling for wet scraps.
• Certification claims shown by the brand or retailer.

This category can convert, but the content must be honest. Buyers care about leaks, fit, and whether the bags are accepted locally.
