Earth RatedDog Poop Bags with Handles, Extra Wide, Easy Tie and Guaranteed Leakproof, Unscented, 120 Handle BagsGreenCircle Certified: Recycled Content

Earth Rated BIOHANDLE120 easy-tie handle lavender scented dog waste bags. I live in CA, where our free multi-use grocery bags have been banned by the Eco-Nazis. I purchased these bags for cat litter, but ordered the wrong size. There is a larger 11x13 bag available, however, it does not have handles. The handles, in my opinion, are what make these bags desirable, a big plus because they are so much easier to tie shut.I contacted the company to find out what they recommend for cat litter, and found them to be very friendly, cheerful, and helpful. They even said they would ship out the larger bags to me. Since I have these bags, I'm going to go ahead and submit a review for them as they are a good quality bag at an economical price, and certainly serve the purpose for which they are intended.So, let's get the minor and inconsequential negative out of the way first: These bags come in a dispenser box, but they really don't dispense easily. I tried to pull first from the back fold and then from the front, and you really have to fight to get a bag out. NO BIG DEAL, believe me.THE GOOD: The bags are very well-made and sturdy, appear to be strong and pliable without being bulky and stiff, and measurements are exact as stated. The lavender scent is pleasant without being overbearing. The handle, including the top seam allowance (about 1/4"), is 4" long. The body of the bag, excluding the bottom seam allowance (about 1/4") is 9.5" deep. From side-to-side, the bag measures 7" wide, the side gusset measures 4-5/8" wide. I'm mathematically challenged, but I think if you add 7+4-5/8, you should have a total bag width of 12.25". Double that, and you have a total bag circumference of 24.5".I use a small wastebasket that measures 9" tall/deep by 7.5" wide side-to-side, and 23.5" around. This size container accommodates a standard litter scoop quite well. This bag fits snugly on my wastebasket, with an approximate 1" fold-over at the top. The bottom of the bag, however, will not go all the way down to the bottom of the basket. So, as the bag fills and becomes heavier, the weight of the contents will pull the very top edge of the bag down and over the sides, which leaves a space for litter to slide down the side between the basket and the bag. The handles do remain outside and grip the grab holes on my basket. While not ideal, it is serviceable.I currently have two litter boxes, and since I just got the bags and haven't used them yet, I'm going to guess they will hold a day's worth of scooping (from morning to bedtime) for 2 cats. (This is where the handles come in handy, so you can loosely tie off the bag to control odor if you don't throw it away after each scoop.) So, how long the bags last will depend on whether you discard after each scoop, or at the end of the day. This size bag will not hold a box-full of cat litter, only the scooped waste.Yes, I would recommend this product.

These bags work very well. And they’re large enough to handle the cat litters pans for both my cats. The handles make it much easier to close up tight and there’s been no tears and no spillage. Also, there is no odor emanating from the bags.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The scent and the handles make picking up so much easier. It ties tight, is strong, and they are biodegradable. All plusses. Great value for the money.

All poop bags are not created equal! The double handle and heavier material makes these a better choice for dog owners with larger dogs with larger poop. Plus the lavender scent helps camouflage the odor for disposal. Great product … the only one I use!

Great bags! They are sturdy, handles make them easy to carry, and they are on the big side, so there no problem having big dog pottys. They are made from 65% recycled plastic.

These bags are really good for picking up poop.

These are amazing. They prevent the smell of litter or poop from stinking. I like these as they have handles so it’s easy to tie closed. Perfect size for cleaning the litter box. I have a large trash can in my garage that I empty 2 X a week. These bags really help minimize any odors from what is in the bag. I tried cheaper bags but they don’t hide the odor. These are a great thickness, have never torn, just a great quality.

Really easy to use I love the handles it’s so convenient and I love that it’s earth based. The scent is great. Affordable. Clean.
