Ultrasac Heavy Duty Contractor Bags (Value 50 Pack/w Ties), 42 Gallon, 32.75 X 47 - 3 MIL Thick Large Black Industrial Garbage Trashbags for Construction and Commercial use

Size and Quality Great!

These come with the old twisty style ties, the ones at Home Depot have two corners longer for self tying, these are a little more of a pain to use the old twist ties, but same strength and durability as the contractor grade at Home Depot. I bought these because due to C19, I didnt to go to HD for safety concerns, so if no virus existed I would make the trip in the future for the Depot ones with the longer corners to self tie, but I have a lot of debris around my yard that I wanted to clean up and needed these now... they are a good bag, and you can sort of tie the corners but its more difficult.

The bags themselves are mid. They mostly do the job, but as others have said, they do tear a lot. I have ordered several times and this last order they came without a box. It was an amazon bag full of unsecured trash bags. This is strange and difficult to manage. The listing even specifies that they conveniently dispense one at a time form the box. I dont plan to buy these again.

Ordered 2 boxes, 1 was fine, the other had been ripped open on both ends and an effort was made to tape it shut. That was not successful.

I got these bags to use for our large plastic trash cans at my gallery and they work great. The regular black trash bags werent big enough for the opening of the cans. These are really thick and dont tear when they are full of cans and bottles. I like that they are large enough to stretch around the edge of the cans so that the bags dont fall inside. So far, we havent had one tear on us yet, and we often fill them with heavy stuff, sharp stuff, messy stuff. If you need a tough bag, these work great.

Relatively narrow neck. Does not fit around Rubbermaid Roughneck 45 gallon cart, which is disappointing. But the quality of the materials is good.

I have 3 apprehensions to buying again. 1. I have been disappointed with how easily the bag punctures and tears compared to other 3mil bags I typically buy. Once the material is compromised it seems to continue to tear, where as other bags put up more of a fight both in initial penetration and in containment of the damage. 2. The bags also have an intense smokey smell. Im keen on industrial smells, but each bag I pull out has a cigarette smoke smell to me; not a normal or familiar plastic smell. The smell dissipates quickly, but each bag has produced it. 3. It is a common bag design, but after using these I have grown a real appreciation for the other bags with the funny-shaped opening that gives you lobes to tie it shut with.
