Frequently asked questions
What certifications do these bags have?
Want to check the credentials? Here are the two certifications our bags hold:
- TÜV Austria OK compost HOME certified (certificate TA8022206432)*
- TÜV AUSTRIA OK compost INDUSTRIAL certified to EN 13432 / ASTM D6400 (cert. no. TA8012509040)*
*For home composting, use a dedicated pet-waste composter. Use finished compost on non-food plants, never on edibles. Most municipal and commercial composting programs do not accept pet waste, and certification does not change that. Appropriate facilities may not exist in your area. If no program accepts it, dispose of it in the trash.
Should I trust a “biodegradable” claim?
“Biodegradable” alone doesn’t tell you how quickly, under what conditions or to what extent a bag will biodegrade. Ask for the evidence, test conditions and disposal instructions. A word on a box isn’t the whole story.
How thick are the bags?
18 microns thick, giving you an extra-thick, leakproof barrier between your hand and the mess.
What happens if the roll gets wet before I use it?
Ideally, keep them in a dry, cool place. They’re stable under normal humidity. A little moisture won’t damage them. If a roll gets left wet for an extended period, the bags can weaken and tear.
Are they strong enough for big dogs?
Built thick and tested on Great Danes, Mastiffs, Wolfhounds, and multi-dog walks. The walls are extra-thick to prevent finger-through, and the bags hold under twist and tie. The neck is long enough to tie a proper knot even with winter gloves on. If you walk a big dog, or two medium dogs at once, these were designed with you in mind.
Will these fit my dispenser?
These come in a pantry roll for use with the dispensing box, rather than the small rolls used in a leash dispenser. Tear off a bag or two, pop them in your pocket, and head out. For rolls that fit a standard poop-bag dispenser, choose our standard bags.
Can I use these for cat litter or other household waste?
Can I use these for cat litter or other household waste?
Yes. Customers use them for cat litter, diaper bags, car spills, grass clippings, and small kitchen waste. Same strength, same odor-locking. One bag, many uses. However, we do have more specialised bags for cleaning up cat litter.
What about the packaging?
What about the packaging?
Cardboard rollers, not plastic. Kraft paper box. We thought about every part of what arrives at your door, right down to the roll your next poop bag comes off.
Where does the 10% of profits actually go?
10% of GIVE A SH!T® profits goes to the Soi Dog Foundation, paid every two weeks. We also donate products and supplies to other rescue and foster networks, separately.
Our goal? Helping fund 100,000 meals for rescue dogs and cats by 2030. We track our donations and use our own $0.25 benchmark to calculate estimated meals funded. See how we count a meal.
