Product Overview
The Hefty Strong Large Trash Bags were developed for larger cleanup tasks in the home, kitchen, garage, yard waste, storage and larger trash cans. The bags are available in 30 gallon multi-purpose sizes; allowing you to have more space for your cleaning needs than with standard kitchen bags but at an appropriate weight and ease of use for daily household cleanup.
The Drawstrings are used as closures on these bags. Hefty has designed the bags to be resistant to normal tear and puncture issues that occur from their use.
Customers Say
Many consumers report that the bags seem heavy-duty in weight and very durable for use as large quantities of house-hold items. Customers report using these bags for many applications including cleaning up after yard work, general storage clean-up, and garage projects and for larger amounts of trash that may exceed what can be placed in a standard kitchen trash bag.
Many consumers also like the large capacity and draw string closure which makes tying up a full bag and carrying it simpler. A number of reviewers have stated that they believe the bags retain their shape better than others they have used and experience fewer splits from a variety of different types of household items being put into the same load.
Some common criticisms of the product include some consumers stating that they believe the material is thinner than anticipated, and experiencing occasional tears when over-loaded with sharp objects.

Bottom Line
These large trash bags are ideal for bigger cleaning projects in your home since they offer a lot of space that standard kitchen bags do not. These trash bags have two major advantages; one being their 30-gallon size allowing you to take advantage of the bag's full potential, secondly is their use of a drawstring at the top to seal the bag from debris spilling out. However, both of these items come with some disadvantages as well. One disadvantage is how well the bag fits on different objects. This may make it harder to use the bag if you plan to reuse it after emptying it. Another disadvantage of using this type of trash bag is its ability to withstand damage when filled with extremely heavy or sharp debris.
