Some of these official city trash bags are cheap junk! They rip too easily!
Did you but them from the city? Cities tend to go with low bid
Yes, you buy them at the store, they are bright yellow and have a special logo on them. If you put trash out in any other kind of bag,
the sanitation workers won't pick it up. The large-sized bags are OK, the small ones are made of chiffon or something.
