Amazon Basics 39 Gallon Lawn & Leaf Heavy Duty Drawstring Trash Bags, 20% Post Consumer Recycled, 40 Count, Black

What It Is

The Amazon Basics 39 Gallon Lawn & Leaf Heavy Duty Drawstring Trash Bags are disposable bags designed for collecting grass clippings, leaves, and yard debris during lawn care tasks. They are not a mower attachment but a replacement bag for manual raking, leaf blowing, or handheld collection.

Fitment & Compatibility

These bags are universal for hand collection—no mower deck or brand fitment needed. Before buying, check that your mower’s bagging system (if using with a walk-behind mower) accepts standard 39-gallon bags; most do, but some newer or commercial models require specific OEM bags with rigid frames or hooks. Measure your existing bag’s capacity: 39 gallons equals roughly 30 x 40 inches when flat. If your mower uses a hard plastic catcher or a proprietary bag attachment, these will not work. They are not compatible with riding mowers or zero-turn mowers that use built-in bagging systems.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 1.2 mil thickness—good for dry grass and leaves, but not for wet, heavy debris or sharp branches; may tear under heavy loads.
• Installation: No tools required; simply open, fit into your collection container or mower bag frame, and secure with the drawstring. Easy, but ensure the bag isn’t overstuffed to avoid splitting.
• Common Gotchas: The drawstring is functional but can slip if the bag is overloaded. The 20% post-consumer recycled material makes them slightly less sturdy than virgin plastic bags. They are not compostable or biodegradable.
• Value: At ~$0.32 per bag, they are cheaper than most brand-name lawn bags, but you may need two bags for a single heavy mowing session.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a budget-friendly, disposable bag for light to medium yard waste collection—ideal for occasional use or for homeowners with small to medium lawns. Skip them if you handle heavy, wet debris or need a bag that can survive rough handling; a thicker (2+ mil) contractor bag or a reusable canvas bag will last longer and cost less per use.
