I have done a fair bit of research, and am on the fence. Paper bags produce their own share of damage, as do plastic bags, the solution is reusing of plastic bags to the maximum has the highest amount of environmental benefits. the issue is most of us use plastic bags for throwing out our organic waste, it keeps our waste confined to some level, but there are still leaks. I was put on a pilot to test a new product, Bagez a garbage bag holder. it allows me to secure any size garbage bag in my garbage bins. garbage bags are a better thicker plastic, and if used according to what your local waste facility can sort and separate, it will help in recapture of material to wards new products rather than end up in landfills. with Bagez i have been able to use just 1 bag to hold our family waste, and add more if needed. i buy my own bags and even use it when i'm outdoors. great product, helps reduce plastics are ending up in the dump, and i don't have to worry about dirty bins.
Vancouver disposal which is responsible for all organic disposal in the tri-cities area will NOT take compostable plastic bags. It's a huge pain in the ass because paper bags are so expensive. There is no easy way. Again.. you cannot use biodegradable plastic bags, at all.
Hi Jen, thank you for sharing. A layer of newspaper, dried yard trimmings or cardboard at the bottom of the green bin will help keep it cleaner and drier. If there is quite a bit of water in the bottom, try turning the bin upside down to drain onto grass, gravel or in the garden. The contents should not be emptied down a storm drain. Remnant food waste can be scooped up using rubber gloves and placed in a paper bag, then put back in the green bin. ^DT

I actually put some water at the bottom of the bin then let the truckload it away, after that I let it exposed in the air till it went dry.

Thank You
After I rinse out my green bin, there are bits of food in the water. Where do I dump that waste?
