Each bag is reinforced with strong handles for easy carrying, even when full. The robust construction ensures longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements – a key benefit of investing in recycled materials. These bags are suitable for use with wheelie bins or direct disposal, and their grey colour blends discreetly into most garden settings.
These waste bags are fully compliant with standard Amazon returns policy should you have any issues upon arrival. Please note that due to the nature of this product – a durable outdoor item – damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.

FAQ
What size are these recycled plastic garden waste bags?+
They’re available in two sizes: 80 litre and 120 litre, providing flexibility for different household needs. The 80L bag is ideal for smaller gardens or occasional use, while the 120L option offers greater capacity for larger properties.
Are these bags biodegradable?+
No, these bags are made from recycled plastic and are not biodegradable. They are designed for long-term waste containment but should be disposed of responsibly according to local recycling guidelines.
How durable are they against rain?+
The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) used is naturally water resistant, offering good protection against light showers. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall to maintain the bag’s integrity.

Yes, absolutely! The reinforced handles and sturdy construction make them suitable for direct loading into your wheelie bin. Just ensure they're securely fastened.

With proper care and use, these recycled plastic garden waste bags should last for several seasons. Regularly checking for damage and replacing worn sections will extend their lifespan.

While you can collect compostable materials in these bags, it's important to avoid adding large quantities of wet or decaying matter to prevent the plastic from becoming damaged. Empty frequently when full.
Do I need special liners inside the bags?+
