NOT as heavy-duty as implied -- good for light duty use only.
The description claims "Strong enough to tolerate all residential household garbage and commercial waste."  We bought these to bag up clean, dry cans to be recycled -- a school project.  The clear feature was appealing for the end-of-year photo of all the cans that had been collected from the school cafeteria through the year, to be recycled in June.<br />We've done it in past years, and had no issues with the opaque bags we used for bagging up the cans to stack in a huge pyramid, take a photo, then transport to the recycling center.  This year, switching to these clear ones has been a hair-tearing experience.  Once loaded with cans, the bags start tearing with any handling at all.  Because they're very large, they take some effort to hoist around, and almost every one started tearing open at some place when moved.  Damage control has included double-bagging some, and use of packaging tape on others, just to keep the bags solid enough to make the final transfer to the recycling center.  It's been a total pain, and these were not cheap.  :(
