Q: Are these bags recyclable?

submitted by mpcarpe - 2 months ago
  • A: Thanks for your interest in our Forceflex Trash Bags. Our Glad Trash Bags are made from polyethylene. Most municipalities lack the facilities to recycle this type of plastic, so unless there are specific programs or local facilities that accept polyethylene bags, they are unlikely to be recycled. We hope this info is useful. Shannon from The Glad Team

Q: Do these truly come fragrance free? Absolutely no scent added to the bags? Important to know for a family member that suffers severe asthma

submitted by Kele - 5 months ago
  • A: Thanks for your interest in our Glad ForceFlex Fragrance-Free Trash Bags, Kele. We want to assure you that this product does not contain any fragrance components at any stage of production. The bags are designed to be odorless, apart from the natural smell of the plastic that can occasionally be present with any trash bag. We hope you find this information helpful.

Q: does the top where the pullstrings are woven be able to stretch around, say a sharply squared compactor trashcan top?

submitted by Kele - 5 months ago
  • A: Thanks for your interest in our Glad ForceFlex Trash Bags, Kele. They're durable, and the dimensions are 59.6 cm x 64.5 cm, which can be found near the bottom of the front of the box. We hope this information is helpful! Shannon from The Glad Team

Really bad. I have purchased generic bags 100x’s better than these. They have ripped 98% of the time we have taken the garbage out.

Shockingly Thin and Punctures Easily!

I assumed because Glad is a trusted household brand, their kitchen trash bags would rival, or at least meet the quality of the brand of trash bags I ran out. Was shocked to see how disturbingly thin the plastic was when I pulled out a bag. Decided to give it a try anyways and when the bag started getting full with various empty cartons, holes started appearing from the corners of empty cartons poking through. Mad! >:-(

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely horrible product despite the Glad reputation. The bags have no fit, they are just loose in the trash can. The biggest problem is that every bag in my box of 50 has split down the seam as soon as I pull it out of the trashcan. And no, I don’t overload it. It rips no matter how full the bag is and I have to clean up trash and put tape over the huge hole. I’ll never trust Glad again.

Very unhappy with my Glad ForceFlex Apple Cinnamon tall 13gal trash bags. The Drawstrings on these bags rip 95% of the time when closing bags. Very frustrating, making it hard to tie close the bags. I gave a 1 star because of this.

Go back to the bags before the "flex"!

Sadly, with all the flex type bags, no matter the brand, they use less plastic therefore, they don’t fit in the can like they used to. You are forced to stretch the bag in order to get the 13 gallons – should be more like 10 gallons especially since they rip so easily. This brand is the least worst out of all brands so forced to recommend. This is the one time I want more plastic!

Tears easily and not worth the cost

These bags have seriously changed in quality. Just junk and they tear each time you pull them from the bin. These come out to being so much more expensive than they are since I have to put the torn bag in a new bag or risk it breaking on the way outside. Low quality.

Poor quality

Have used your kitchen bags for years without issues. This year about 40% of the bags in each box split on the bottom upon opening even before trash in it. Not sure what changed but I’ll be looking for a different brand.

Handles Always Break

I give up. I really tried to like these, because the scents are awesome, HOWEVER, each time we try and tie the bag, the handle breaks. Not just now and then but almost EVERY time! Just not going to purchase again. Waste of money

Terrible Quality now

What has happened to the quality of these bags. I thought that maybe I had a “one off” bad batch of bags. But these rip EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! A Kleenex box corner pierced right through the bag. I am tired of having leaky trash in the bottom of my trash bin. Fix these bags!!!!

Sick of being ripped off…

These garbage bags used to be excellent. However, over time, their quality has decreased while the price has increased. They tear easily, have little stretch, and no longer fit the same garbage can I’ve used for the past ten years. I’m frustrated by this decline in quality and the expectation that consumers should just accept it. I have to transport my garage waste to my car, place it in the trunk, and drive it to the compactor, so I need bags I can rely on. Unfortunately, these bags do not meet that standard. I would appreciate some helpful suggestions. Garbage bags are too expensive to buy and test out. I would have rated these bags five stars in the past, but now, if their quality has dropped to two stars, where does that leave me when considering other options?

Smaller than expected

The bags themselves seem like decent quality but they feel smaller than the indicated 13 gallon size. My other 14 gallon bags filled up my trash can and these leave about a 1/4 of the can empty at the bottom. Hard pass next time.
