If you're planning on landfilling non-reusable, non-recyclable materials, there really isn't any point in using compostable bags to do it in. Organic material doesn't compost or properly biodegrade in landfills. It breaks down anaerobically, producing methane.

It would probably better to reuse one of those pernicious plastic shopping bags....

Here is why I still think using biodegradable bags for garbage is preferable to using plastic grocery bags. Read the rest of the article here.
