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

GOOD BAG BUT FOR THE PRICE I THOUGHT ID GET MORE

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

I had a major lawn project and was told by my neighbor to get these bags so branches wouldnt poke through. Much to my disbelief, it worked. Did some branches poke through, yes, but not after some heavy abuse. Theres no way regular lawn bags wouldve held up the way I was treating these bags. I filled up roughly 15 of these bags and every one was super sturdy and they barely ever ripped. Even if they did tear from a puncture, the tear wouldnt go far. These bags are a life saver. 10/10 would buy again.

The durability was above what I expected for the money I recommend this purchase to anyone looking for contractor bags.

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.

I have these on automatic shipment and I don’t have to worry about bags anymore. Good product for the value.

They were good, not as sturdy, the clothes made it tear.

Everything we put in the bags poked a hole. Contractor bags should not do that!

I’m use to the 3mil contractor bags from the big box stores. This 2mil alternative rips very easily. On the plus side these are very large bags. If you’re using for any form of sharp debris, I suggest you find a thicker bag.

I should have known better when I saw that the bags came with twist ties. Who tf uses twist ties to close up a bag of trash - especially remodel/construction trash?! Another huge flaw is that all bags are attached to each other in a single reel of plastic. You can’t just grab and go. You have to pull pull pull until hopefully you are able to spot the nearly invisible perforation line. The bags are deceivingly boxed to make them look like the Home Depot version. But they are so far from that in reality. Waste of money.
