Inches BioBag Lawn, Leaf & Yard Waste Bags are ideally used for the collection of lawn, grass, and other yard waste for municipal and community composting. Our Lawn, Leaf & Yard Waste Bags are Sized equivalent to regular yard waste plastic bags. These bags breathe without leaking, which can reduce the weight of the bag at pick up because moisture can evaporate. Many communities have banned the use of polyethylene plastic bags for yard waste removal, because PE bags can not be composted with the yard waste or burned. Studies show paper bags are difficult for consumers to use and store, have a limited fill capacity, and do not hold up well in wet weather. Usage testing confirms that consumers significantly prefer BioBag Lawn & Leaf Bags to paper bags for the collection of yard waste.
