These are decent bags, the right size for those typical oval small wastepaper baskets- a good bit larger than a grocery store sized bag, but not too big. The only thing I will say is take care tearing them-- the perforations are not really cut thru deep so if you just grab it and rip it off you have a chance of ripping the bag. You kind of have to tear it in an even, measured way and it is fine. I like that they are compostable!!
