13 Gallon Compostable Tall Kitchen Bags vs Great Value Strong Flex 13-Gallon Trash Bags

Buy the Great Value Strong Flex if you want a tough, everyday kitchen bag that resists tears and controls odors. Buy the 13 Gallon Compostable bag if you compost and want food waste to break down instead of sitting in a landfill. The compostable bag is thinner at 0.87 mil and owners say a full load can need double-bagging, while the Great Value drawstring bag has far more owner feedback and a stronger track record for holding heavy waste.

• Choose the 13 Gallon Compostable bag if you have a compost pickup or home bin and want kitchen food scraps to break down in about 180 days.
• Choose the Great Value Strong Flex if you want a durable drawstring bag for ordinary kitchen trash with odor control.
