Reli. ProGrade Contractor Trash Bags 55 Gallon | 20 Bags w/Ties | Heavy Duty | 2 Mil | Black | Construction

Strong as you said

Moving

TL;DR - These are big but they are NOT contractor grade, not by a shot. They are closer to heavy duty kitchen garbage bags. Just for background, Ive been buying Ultrasac 42-Gallon Contractor Bags with flaps in a 50-bag box, for years. Yes, they are pricey, usually between $32 and $35. I use them almost exclusively for yard waste, which may seem like overkill but I really appreciate a bag that wont slit/tear/rip because a little twig ran down the side. Also, it takes me several years to use up an entire box. Fast-forward to the post-pandemic world, Im out of bags, low on funds, theres a pile of leaves, twigs and other waste in the yard, and I see the reviews are good for these Reli ProGrade Contractor Trash Bags. So, I try them and . . . all yall who gave all those good reviews, are we talking about the same bags? Some in my box arrived already ripped and they were no match for the small twigs in my yard (I break them down, its not like Im shoving whole branches into the bag). I ended up having to double them to get the job done and I still had rips and tears big enough for leaves to fall through. I am beyond livid about this. First world problem, yeah, but one of the benefits of living in the first world is I dont have to put up with this. I wont be buying these again, Im back to Ultrasac.

Everything

Exactly what I ordered. Trash bags

We use these for an XL trash can that has wheels, it fits great and can be filled a LOT.

Nothing special but strong

These are as tough and as strong as the major players like Hefty or Glad. The only annoying bit is that it can be tough to spot the perforation between bags on the roll. This means when you need to grab a bag in a hurry, you end up having to feel around for the split, press it with your fingers to tear it and pull one bag off the roll. This is not a huge problem, but over time it can be frustrating. Otherwise, very happy with this purchase.

I used these bags to help move into my first apartment, I was dragging all my heavy stuff and the plastic was barley ripped. Very convenient

It met my qualifications for what I needed it for. Very happy.
