For bag based recycling programs, Glad Large Drawstring Blue Bags are designed for use in municipalities that permit or require recyclables to be placed in translucent blue bags for pickup. Many recycling programs do not accept recyclables in bags of any kind. Please review and follow your local rules for proper disposal of recyclables. These trash bags are designed to handle your heaviest trash needs while helping to keep your kitchen organized, clean and tidy. With the strong drawstring closure, the trash bag securely grips to your trash can to help keep it in place until you are ready to take it out. Taking out the trash is a cinch with the drawstring bag. Simply pull up on the drawstring, tie and lift out of your trash can. This drawstring trash bag is perfect for use in the kitchen or throughout the house and is great for your seasonal cleaning needs like Spring Cleaning and Back to School. Get a handle on trash with Glad.
