Compostable bags are a great idea. HOWEVER they can't start composting IN the wastebasket. First one I had fell apart completely as I tried to take it out. Had to re-bag everything after picking up the mess.
The idea is great and I'd love to support the idea, but I have ripped bag after bag when all I wanted was to take out the garbage. The bags don't actually rip at the seams that are there. The bags rip literally everywhere [handles, sides, bottom] BUT there. I paid 7+ dollars for trash bags that can't take out the trash. Why waste your time?
