Great Value 30-Gallon Drawstring Multi-Purpose Large Trash Bags, 20 Bags

I have been using these bags for over a year, we love them for their size and strength as well. The only thing is they changed their folding method, and they are a little harder to fully open now. They are nearly leak proof, this is something we really value at our house!

These are our main garbage bags. I'd rather use none (there was a time when we put out half a paper grocery bag every 2 weeks...even with critters) or something completely biodegradable, but haven't checked that landscape in a while, since the days when they cost more and failed early...I doubt it's like that anymore. In the meantime, these are our go-to large trash bags. They're not the toughest, but they are plenty tough for what we generally fill them with, which is pretty regular, non-pointy household trash. I would never put leaves in there, that's free compost material and future soil (they mentioned it below). They close, no problem, though the occasional tie has failed. They have been pretty durable for us or I wouldn't keep buying them. I need to get back to where we don't use so many, that's for sure. But these do the job for holding our regular household trash that gets a bit heavy and contains the occasional corner. Pointy things will, of course, poke through. Use normal caution there. Good bags, though.
