Glad ForceFlex Trash Bags

Nobody wants to bag up the kitchen garbage only to have it split on the way to the curb. That's the whole point of Glad ForceFlex: bags engineered to stretch around sharp and bulky waste instead of tearing. The flexible LLDPE construction gives when pressure hits a weak spot, so a stray chicken bone or broken jar is far less likely to become a mess on your floor.

Our current offering is the Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Drawstring Trash Bags, 13 Gallon (item 70427) — the standard tall-kitchen size that fits most household and breakroom cans. Each bag measures 24 x 28 inches with a 0.95 mil thickness, and the gray flat pack ships 100 bags per case, a practical count for offices, clinics, and facilities that run through liners quickly.

The built-in drawstring is what makes these easy to live with day to day. Instead of struggling to knot a full bag, you pull the two closure straps, cinch, and lift — a cleaner grip and a tighter seal that helps keep odors and drips contained during transport. The 13-gallon capacity is the sweet spot for kitchen cans, exam-room waste bins, and general office use where you want durability without paying for heavy-duty contractor-grade thickness you don't need.

A few questions come up often: Will these fit my can? 13-gallon tall kitchen bags fit standard rectangular and round cans rated in the 12–16 gallon range. Are they strong enough? The ForceFlex stretch technology is designed specifically to resist puncture and tearing, which is where cheaper flat liners tend to fail. How long will a case last? At 100 bags, most single-kitchen or small-office setups get several weeks to months of coverage.
