Is anyone using these as kitchen compost bags? If yes, do they leak if out for more than a day?

Only really use them for the "Doggy deed" but they would be strong enough for kitchen compost.

If these bags are tied tightly they don't leak ever. I am very pleased using them for wet food scraps.

I only use them for dog waste, but I tried tearing one and it is not difficult to tear, so I would not think you would want them in the kitchen. Stick with Hefty Scrap bags for that purpose or I saw a scrap bag in Wal-Mart that probably will also work for kitchen compost.

They screw off. Someone in the reviews said they leak. I have not had that problem.Some weeks later -- yes, I am finding they do leak a bit. I wrap the jars in a paper towel when I take them with me now.Another update: they don't leak if you make a thicker yogurt, using powdered milk along with the regular milk! If your yogurt is thinner and has that layer of whey on top, then they do leak.

No they aren't leak proof. I use them for dry snacks, strawberries, apple, or grapes, but nothing with any juice.

I have only had them for a short time(2 months). The mailed blankets in some and they did not leak. The ones I am currently using have not leaked. I just had one new one rip apart when I tried to close it. The rest I am using are working fine.

Leaking has never personally happened with my set. Not ever, and I take a lot of differing things in my lunch. Maybe the other folks are overfilling their containers--maybe don't fill it up to the top? But no, in my experience they don't leak.

I only used them for jello, but I can tell you that when they were filled with liquid (before the jello turned into jello), they did not leak.

They held in liquids very well in my freezer. I laid then on their side and nothing leaked. Hope this helps!

Yes they are leak proof. I bought mine in the Container store and it is labeled leakproof on their shelf. The store sells the 2 oz size for $1.95. I use it to carry my oily lite salad dressing to the restaurant with me and it has never leaked.

I have not experienced any leaks from the containers while toting in my lunch bag. I try to keep containers with food upright as much as possible but have emptied my bag with a container shifted on its side, etc. but have never had any spills so far (although I have only owned these for about 8 months now). I wash the lids in my dishwasher too, so I think they are designed very well.

Mine have only ever leaked when my child has chewed on the spout & created a larger hole in it. Otherwise, never & I've been using them for about a year.

I know this is an old question, but for anyone wondering, these do leak. There are some one-piece lids that will provide a leakproof seal, like these: Bormioli Rocco 3-3/8", 86mm Quattro Stagioni Lids, 2 Pack

We have had two of these for awhile now (1-2 years). One really large one and one medium size one and neither has leaked yet from the bag. We will probably need to replace one of the mouth parts soon as I have noticed one of them leaks now, but even that is a slow drip.

Nope, I haven't encountered any trouble with leakage and I've been using these water bottles for years. I throw them in my bag all the time. The black caps have rubber rings on them that block any water from seeping out.

I put them in my kids lunches and they have not leaked. I also put them in a zip lock bag just in case - I have 1 in kindergarten, so who knows what it goes through in the classroom. Just make sure you leave about 1/2 to 1 inch in the top because liquids expand when they freeze.

No, they would not leak. I poured a hot solution into mine & they were fine. Worked pretty great actually.

They perform great. I don't have a problem with them leaking. I use them on my kitchen 13 gallon trash can.
