The HoldOn kitchen trash bags are the best of the compostable trash bags that I have tried (and I’ve tried several)! They tear off easily and evenly (instead of ripping the bag every other time), so you can actually use every bag. They work as intended to contain the kitchen trash for several days (instead of breaking down in two days, or tearing through at the bottom, making a mess in the trash can).

I had one incident where I overloaded the bag with liquid-y things from a fridge clean-out and forgot to take it out before we were gone for over a week, and it did leak a little when I took it out (so that’s probably about 10 days total, and heavy weight, with liquids), but as long as you just use them normally for normal kitchen trash (which has included heavy things and liquids - just not leaving them for 10 days - which is gross and should be avoided anyway), they are awesome.

They are a wonderfully happy color, and we think they are great! Love that we can be a little kinder to the earth while also having a product that does its job well. Nice work on these, HoldOn!

Who would’ve ever thought that trash bags could make you feel good? What a genius idea! Not only are HoldOn trash bags and locking food bags excellently made, I actually feel good about not contributing to the avalanche of plastics going into our landfills! Every step counts, and we need lots more of them. I’ve even started composing for my patio garden!

I’m so glad to have made the switch from plastic garbage bags! At first I was worried about wet garbage breaking down the bag but we have never had it happen. We do clip a recycled bread bag to the inside of the Hold On bag for any super wet garbage, and we compost food scraps. I feel so much better about not buying plastic garbage bags any more.

Images of the massive island of plastic floating in the Pacific shocked me and horrified me. By using these in my popular Airbnb guesthouses, I’m passing the word along to all my guests by using these at the last step of garbage collection everyone can do better. I purchased HoldOn in the easiest way possible when I signed up for their monthly delivery.

In my guesthouses, often when people are packing up they jam a lot of debris in the trash cans. HoldOn bags are strong! Nothing ever spills or breaks open the bags.

I bought HoldOn after listening to one of my favorite political podcasts and I used the discount code WARROOM when I started my monthly deliveries.
