AmazonCommercial 13 Gallon Blue Recycling Bags /w Drawstrings - 0.7 MIL - 45 Count

The bag itself is fin. The straps are weak and easily broken or come loose. I bought these on the basis of price, but the bag quality of materials is lacking. All the bags perform equally well, but the other brands are better made.

While these bags are on the thinner side - they are perfect for household recycle- We do not use them all the time - only during parties or when our bin is full. but it is nice to have recycle bags that are easily identifiable by the blue color.

The drawstrings are very thin and will always break if you have a lot of stuff in the bag and need to pull even slightly more than if it was very lightly loaded. Do not recommend.

These are thinner than the hefty brand, are are relatively the same price. The hefty bag has 60 bags and the Amazon has 45. Hefty is made in the USA Amazon is made in the USA. Hefty comes in a more sturdy box, but the Amazon box isn’t terrible. The Amazon box is plain white with just a label on it, so less dyes make better composting, if that’s important to you. I bought these by mistake but decided to keep them to compare. The hefty brand doesn’t tear as easily. I have found that the Amazon bass drawstrings are more flimsy, creating a tear in the bag when tying it up. The look of the bag is almost identical other than the drawstring and the hefty are less crinkled (but who cares about that, really) I feel if you are recycling things like cardboard boxes, cans, etc, then the hefty are for you. If you are recycling things like paper or plastic wrapping or empty jugs (lighter things) then the Amazon ones are fine. Truly depends on your household.

Every single one I received has a large cut on the side, making them nearly unusable. If it werent for that, the actual bag itself is not bad.

Great bags cheap cost

Great Deal Nice bags

Too thin, they always tear when I take them out, even though I do not overfill them at all. Will not buy again.

Stick with me, I know buying more bags is somewhat counterintuitive on the whole greener life style. However Ive found these bags make taking out the recycling easier and therefore I do it more often and thus I recycle more (thanks for sticking with me).

We have to take our trash and recycling to community sanitation sites. As of this month, we can place nest of the recycling into one recyling bin. The blue bags help us to sort the recycling from the trash and carry out one bag at a time from the kitchen to the sanitation site. I like these blue bags!
