All over our kitchens and bathroom, we have compose and recycle bins and they are line with the ECOFILM composatable bags. They works great.
The Natur-bag slim liner 33 gallon bags are really good to have. prevents pest problems and makes compost fairly clean. You can't overfill them or put in anything hot because they'll break and melt, respectively.
