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

Moving

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.

Very strong

These are VERY durable garbage bags and an excellent value. My one minor complaint is the perforation between bags. Its almost impossible to find. Granted, we were using them in low light, but I was the only one, of four or five people, that could find the perforation to separate the bags.

it large and strong for what i want it to do

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 ordered 2 mil trash bags they came promptly and exactly as advertised

good

We get and use this contractors trash bag regularly.

Theyre a little difficult to unroll as they want to go everywhere, the seam is also hard to locate but they are STURDY. These are in no way flimsy and work great.
