The useful choice is a refill that fits your holder and lasts through your routine. Earth Rated’s unscented 120-bag option is a sensible candidate for everyday walks with a compatible dispenser. Start with the roll dimensions, work out your own bag use, then check the disposal instructions. A green-looking package cannot answer all three questions.
This guide covers Earth Rated Dog Poop Bag Refill Rolls, Unscented, 120 bags. Other scents, counts, handle bags and the large Grab & Go format are separate choices. The manufacturer currently lists the unscented and 120-bag options on its refill product page.
Measure the roll space first
The bag’s open size tells you little about whether the roll will fit inside a leash holder. Earth Rated’s current size guide lists compact refill rolls at 31 mm in diameter, with a ±2 mm tolerance, and 60 mm long, with a ±1 mm tolerance. That describes a possible 29–33 mm diameter and 59–61 mm length within the stated tolerances. The same source lists the opened bag at 23 × 33 cm; the FAQ rounds this to 9 × 13 inches.
The practical check: compare those roll dimensions with the usable space inside your holder, including any spindle, ribs or cap. A cavity exactly as large as the upper tolerance leaves no spare clearance. Dimensions alone cannot confirm that a roll will turn, feed through the slot or clear the lid. If the holder maker names compatible refills, use that guidance too.
Earth Rated pairs these refills with its own dispenser. There is no verified universal-fit claim here. Its large Grab & Go 300 roll is a different format: the size guide lists 70 mm ±2 mm diameter and 210 mm ±1 mm length. Do not pick it just because the bag count looks appealing.

Unscented is a specific preference
If you want to avoid added fragrance, the unscented option makes sense. Earth Rated says it adds no fragrance, while recycled plastic can still have a slight material smell. That is worth knowing before you buy several packs for scent alone. The word “unscented” does not promise odor containment after pickup. Manufacturer FAQ
For the first pack, try loading a roll at home and pulling out one bag before your next walk. Our practical suggestion is to keep a spare bag accessible rather than discovering a loading problem outdoors. This is a preparation tip, not a claim about this product’s defect rate or strength.
Read the material label and the bin instructions separately
Earth Rated’s FAQ describes the bag material as 65% post-consumer recycled plastic and 35% virgin plastic. The chart below shows that manufacturer-stated composition. It is not a carbon-footprint comparison, a composting rate or an independent certification result. Manufacturer FAQ
What the bag is made from
65% Post-consumer recycled plastic
35% Virgin plastic
Three label questions are useful when comparing any dog-waste bags:
- Recycled content: How much recovered material went into the bag? Check whether the claim refers to the bag, the box or both.
- Recyclable: Does your local collection system accept the item in its actual condition? A material claim does not settle local acceptance.
- Compostable: What conditions does the product require, and does the collection service accept both the bag and pet waste?
Those are separate checks. The FTC’s consumer guide to environmental claims explains why a recycled-content statement, a recycling claim and a compostability claim answer different questions. It also warns that landfill conditions can greatly slow decomposition. There is no basis here to promise that a bag will disappear after ordinary trash disposal.
For these Earth Rated refills, the manufacturer’s disposal directions say to put used bags in regular trash. Check locally before recycling the roll cores and packaging. Do not put a used bag in recycling because its material includes recycled plastic.
For a home compost pile, the EPA’s backyard-composting guidance lists pet waste among the materials to avoid. A different bag carrying a compostable label does not resolve that pet-waste restriction. For a curbside or specialist collection service, ask about both the waste and its bag before choosing that disposal route. This guide does not identify the rules for your address.
Give each item its own destination

- A different “compostable” bagCheck the bag’s conditions and whether your collector accepts pet waste. EPA advises keeping pet waste out of backyard compost.
How long does a 120-bag pack last?
Count bags used by the whole household, rather than walks or dogs. Some outings use none; others can use more than one. The arithmetic is simply available bags ÷ bags used per day. It is a stock-planning example, not a recommended toileting schedule.
With no bags set aside as spares:
- 1 bag per day: 120 days
- 2 bags per day: 60 days
- 3 bags per day: 40 days
- 4 bags per day: 30 days
Same pack, different routines
A reserve changes the answer. For example, setting aside 14 bags leaves 106 for routine use. At two bags per day, that is 53 complete days before touching the reserve. These are chosen planning inputs, not observed results. Extra bags, sharing with another walker and damaged or lost bags shorten the supply.
Plan your own supply
Start with a 120-bag pack. Set aside a reserve if you want one. This stays on this page and sends nothing.
53 complete days before using your reserve. 106 routine bags, 0 left after those days, plus your 14 reserved bags.
Formula: complete days = (120 − reserve) ÷ daily use, rounded down. This estimate assumes steady use and no losses.
Our recommendation is to count what you actually use for a week, then round that daily average up to a whole-number planning estimate when deciding how much to keep on hand. Check your remaining supply before ordering; a calendar estimate cannot see what is in your drawer. The calculator accepts whole-number daily estimates so its assumptions stay obvious.
Before you choose this pack
- Confirm Unscented, 120 bags and refill rolls in the selected offer. A related product photo or another count is not confirmation.
- Match the roll dimensions to your holder and check that its feed slot and cap work with the roll.
- Choose unscented for the absence of added fragrance, allowing for possible material smell.
- Plan around your own bag use, with whatever reserve you prefer.
- Follow the used-bag trash direction and check local rules for the empty packaging.
The trade-off is straightforward: this is a compact, unscented refill option for a compatible holder, with a stated recycled-plastic share. It is not a reason to replace a holder that already works, and this article makes no comparative leak, odor-blocking or environmental-performance claim.

Quick answers
Can I use these in another brand’s holder?
Possibly, but fit has not been verified. Compare the roll-size tolerances above with the usable cavity and check the feed path. An external holder’s dimensions do not tell you how much room is available inside it.
Is the 120-bag count a promise of 120 walks?
No. It is a bag count. The useful estimate depends on how many bags you use, not how often you leave home.
Is the bag count the same as the roll count?
No. This article plans from 120 individual bags. It does not promise a current rolls-per-pack configuration; check the package if that matters for splitting a box between people.
Can the whole empty package go in my recycling bin?
Check the accepted materials locally. Earth Rated’s disposal guidance distinguishes used bags from the cores and packaging, and specifically makes recycling dependent on local acceptance.
