The Home Depot 49022-25PK Heavy Duty Brown Paper Lawn and Refuse Bags for Home and Garden, 30 gal (Pack of 25)

What It Is

These are 30-gallon heavy-duty brown paper bags designed for use with lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and yard vacs that have a standard 2- or 4-bag mounting system. They are not for mulching or direct grass collection—they’re for bagging clippings, leaves, and yard waste after collection.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower or yard vac uses standard 30-gallon paper bag mounts (most walk-behind mowers with rear baggers and many tow-behind sweepers). Check that your bagger frame uses a paper bag adapter—many OEM baggers require a separate metal or plastic frame to hold paper bags. Measure the bag opening: these are 18" x 12" at the top, tapering to 12" x 8" at the bottom. They fit most Toro, Honda, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt baggers that accept 30-gallon paper bags, but not universal fit—verify your bagger model’s manual or measure your existing bag opening. If your mower uses plastic bags or has a hard-shell collection system, these won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Heavy-duty but not reusable: Rated for 50 lbs of wet leaves or 40 lbs of dry clippings, but they’re single-use. Tears can happen if overfilled or wet.
• No installation required: Just unfold and slide onto your bagger frame’s adapter. No tools or modifications needed.
• Common gotcha: Many mowers require a separate paper bag adapter (e.g., Toro 490-22-25 or similar) to hold the bag open. If your bagger frame doesn’t have one, these bags won’t stay in place.
• Storage tip: Keep them dry before use. Damp paper bags collapse and tear easily inside the bagger.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you have a bagger that accepts standard 30-gallon paper bags and you need a disposable, biodegradable solution for yard waste pickup—especially for heavy leaf cleanup where you don’t want to clean reusable bags. Avoid if your mower uses a hard-shell or plastic bag system, or if you need bags that can be reused multiple times.
