Review on Hefty Recycling Trash Bags - Blue, 13 Gallon Size, Pack of 60 Count by Megan Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal if you don't have a recycling bin

When I moved into my apartment over a decade ago I was told I would would get a trash can like all my neighbors. For some reason I never got it and phone calls to the housing association and various departments in the village gave me nothing but a royal apology. I eventually gave up and for years I threw recyclables in paper bags or in other people's trash cans that were already on the sidewalk. I later learned that the Be Municipality decided that providing trash cans to residents was too expensive and stopped issuing them. As a result, all the neighbors who moved in after me never threw away the garbage either. I recently found out about these clear bags specifically designed for recycling! I couldn't find them at Target or any other local store, so I had to buy them from Revain. They really solved my problem of not putting my recyclables in! They are strong with good bonds. There was only one catch. I have never heard of clear plastic bags and have never seen one. Apparently there were no fitters working for processors! For the first few weeks I noticed that the recycling guys just left my clear bags to the regular scavengers. Little did they know the things in the clear bags were the things to take with them! Luckily the homeowners association contacted the recycling companies and helped them figure it out so there are no more problems now. Everything says if you decide to buy, remember that you could train the recycling company and their employees.

Pros
  • This pack contains 60 blue tall, unscented, kitchen waste bags from Hefty Recycling, each 0.7mm thick
Cons
