Glad Tall Kitchen Bags with Drawstrings, 13 Gallon
From Glad

Glad has introduced the ForceFlex replacement for this bag, and now is the only version sold at my local Sam's Club. The newer bag is far more resilient to sharp objects and heavier items but comes with some downsides. It has an odd feel to it, a bit powdery and rubbery, but not a big thing. More annoying is the higher price. Most annoying is closing the drawstring. On the old bag, simply pulling up caused the opening to bunch and seal nicely for tying. On the newer ForceFlex, the drawstrings seem to rub against the rubbery texture and consequently the bag is much harder to seal. Not appreciated in an everyday garbage bag. Unless your personal trash is sharp and heavy, skip the annoying ForceFlex and get these very simple, excellent trash bags.

Seventh Generation Trash Bags, Tall Kitchen

From Seventh Generation

Seventh Generation Tall Kitchen Trash Bags are made with 100% recycled plastic with 70% post consumer content. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one package of 15 count large trash bags made from virgin plastic with 100% recycled ones, we could save: 93,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 5,300 U.S. homes for a year: 1.7 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 2,500 full garbage trucks and: avoid 34,600 tons of pollution!
I LOVE having a product that contains so much recycled plastic! Complete the recycling loop! These bags can't hold up to overloading, but for ordinary kitchen use, they are great. Recommended!
