Grove Co. Recycled 13-Gallon Trash Bags vs 13 Gallon Compostable Tall Kitchen Bags

Buy the Grove recycled bags if you want a sturdy, fragrance-free bag for everyday kitchen trash and don't need it to break down. Buy the compostable bags if you separate food scraps for composting and want a plant-based bag that meets home and industrial compost standards. The Grove bags have a much larger review base and a stronger durability reputation; the compostable bags rate higher but on far fewer reviews, and owners report they can be flimsy when full.

• Choose the Grove recycled bags if you want a tear-resistant, fragrance-free drawstring bag made from 100% post-consumer plastic for regular kitchen waste.
• Choose the compostable bags if you collect food scraps for a compost pile or municipal program and want a certified plant-based bag with handle ties.
