they are as thick/strong as the freezer bags here.

I'll use the lighter ones to cover a leftover dish in the fridge, or a secondary wrap over top of the milk bag for the freezer.

Most of my veggie, and other organic waste DOES get composted - I actually have tomato plants growing out of my mini inside composts, and somehow - a sunflower - must have spilled a seed or two while filling my feeders on the counter - I brush counter spillage - bread crumbs whatever into my mini-composts.
