GLAD Tall Kitchen Trash Bags, 13 Gallon Handle Tie Trash Big for Kitchen, Unscented, 50 Count (Pack of 4)

These are the best trash bags with the handles. I wish Glad would continue to sell them in stores.

I purchased these Glad trash bags to fit into a built-in cabinet trash compartment, and because I was tired of fiddling with drawstrings on other bags--and Im happy with the purchase. They seem slightly shorter than other Glad bags I have used in the past, which I like for my new, shorter waste receptacles. I dont mind tying the handles rather than the drawstrings, either, Drawstrings are much more trouble to deal with, in my opinion. I gave the product four stars instead of five because the handles are long enough to make it difficult to tie these in such a way that absolutely no space remains at the top of the bag (which is where things invariably fall out or odors seep back into the living space). Im not sure how they could be engineered differently--perhaps I need to work on my tying skills...

These bags are getting increasingly harder to find in any of the stores or markets. I am extremely pleased with these. The size is generous so I dont have to struggle to get them in the container I use for trash. Im happy that theyre available here!

Sturdy and love that I can tie them easily and even open back up if I need to

PLEASE never stop making these!

I have been using these bags for years, and like others, dont understand why theyve become impossible to find in stores. These handles built into the bag are far superior to any drawstring or flaps bag. However, Ive taken one star off because with the latest batch of bags that I just opened (purchased in November 2011) are quite noticeably thinner (i.e. virtually transparent) than they used to be. I have a dark blue trash can, and up until now, you could not tell what color or even shade of can I had when bag was in it. It was a solid white bag. Now however, you easily see the dark color of the can through the bag. Im just on my first one from this batch, so it remains to be seen if theyve managed to retain the strength and durability theyve always had (I dont see how thats possible though), but appearance-wise it would seem that Glad is following the trend of cutting back on materials to cut costs.

Thickest bags so they don’t puncture easily. I don’t purchase any other bags and I’ve been purchasing them for over 20 years!

My local stores stopped carrying the handled trash bags and that is the ones my trash can is meant to use, so I was happy to find these on Amazon. They work ok, but are definitely thinner than the ones I used to buy in store and tear at the handle part pretty frequently. I’ll still continue to buy them until I get a new trash can, even if they aren’t the best quality. I’ve never had a bag fully tear on me or anything.

Someone mentioned that they though these were of a lesser quality, had been changed somehow, because they werent as thick. Well, they are the same ones I have in my basement. I use the handle ties because they ARE THE BEST. I have a stack of them - no box - in my basement by the washer/dryer and I would guess these were placed there years ago - it takes a LONG time for the lint to pile up that Id need to change the bag ( yes, embarrassedly, YEARS!). These look and behave the same as the ones in my basement. I threw the box away I had in my kitchen when I reo-ordered some (yes, they are hard to find in stores which is ridiculous), so I cant say positively that the measurements/thickness are the same, but when I compare what I receive to the old ones I have in my basement - THEY ARE THE SAME - holding them up to the light, the see-thru is the same. Please do NOT stop manufacturing GLAD AHNDLE TIE bags!!!

I like the loop handles on these. This type is hard to find in my local stores so I am very glad they are available from Amazon
