Do these bags fit a standard 13-gallon kitchen can?

Yes. They are sized for standard 13-gallon cans, and owners report they fit without slipping down the rim.

Are these bags compostable or made of recycled plastic?

No. The bags are ordinary plastic; only the box is 100% recycled paperboard.

Will they hold heavy or sharp waste?

They handle routine kitchen waste, but some owners report tears with heavy loads or sharp packaging. Double-bagging helps for sharp items.

How does the drawstring work?

The drawstring pulls the top closed and doubles as a carry handle, so you can lift a full bag to the outdoor bin.

Do they control odors?

The drawstring seals the top, which helps contain smells, but the plastic does not neutralize odor. Change full bags promptly.

How do they compare with brand-name drawstring bags?

They cost less and work for everyday trash, but brand-name bags are generally thicker and more tear-resistant.

Our take on the Basic Kitchen Trash Bags, 13 Gallon, Drawstring

These are 13-gallon drawstring kitchen bags in white, sized for standard kitchen cans. The drawstring pulls closed and doubles as a carry handle, which makes lifting a full bag to the outdoor bin easier than tying flaps. They are a plain, no-frills option against brand-name drawstring bags: the box is recycled paperboard, but the bags themselves are ordinary plastic, not compostable or recycled-content. With a 4.4 average across more than 13,000 ratings, most owners find them serviceable for everyday kitchen waste, though some report tears and thinness.
