Even the most adamant opponents of plastic pollution find it difficult to give up garbage bags. It's just odd to have a garbage can that isn't covered. You might be concerned about messes or having things fall apart. To minimise stray debris from flying out of trash cans and washing into rivers, towns frequently encourage or even require the use of trash bags. No, in an ideal world, but it all relies on your circumstances. You should theoretically produce no waste if you compost food, give unwanted stuff, and refuse nonrecyclables. In fact, Bea Johnson discusses how "I'm sorry, but I don't have a trash can" is one of her go-to rejection methods in her zero waste book. However, let's face it: this can range from exceedingly tough to impossible. The majority of us still generate some waste. Even if you just produce a tiny quantity of dry garbage, you may want to keep it together to reduce the chance of it blowing away on a windy day, so knowing your options is crucial.

What about compostable trash bags or biodegradable trash bags?

When compostable or biodegradable garbage bags are disposed of in a landfill, they are no better than plastic.

When it comes to landfills, incinerators, and recycling plants, the EPA's website plainly notes that "these places do not create conditions in which complete breakdown will occur within one year." According to the Federal Trade Commission's Green Guidelines, companies shouldn't even claim to be biodegradable unless they can prove it within this time frame. The final line is that there are many claims out there that are nothing more than false marketing. However, there are two exceptions when it comes to compostable bags. If the bags are labelled as "home compostable," as these are, they should decompose quickly in your compost pile.

If the bags are compostable and you send them to a municipal composting facility, the conditions for your bags to decompose should be ideal. If you're not sure if this is the case, you can inquire with your city.
