garbage bags

wasnt sure where this topic fits in-sorry if its in the wriong place

been here 2 years and am still alwasy double bagging our kitchen (rubbish) trash bags for fear they will split in route to outside bin or either when being collected. (they have in the past- YUCK)

I've tried lots of UK brands- they always seem to be prone to splitting.  I keep forgetting to ask my neighbors what they use- also- i dont want it to be another enquiry like " your stuff is so crappy here..."

Does anyone know where to get Good STURDY garbage bags like for kitchen trash bins?
any UK brands that you'd recommend?  
Anybody seen Hefty or Glad bags over here?

For kitchen rubbish, I use Tesco's brand drawstring refuse black sacks.  The flimsy white bags they label as kitchen liners aren't worth a toss.

I've never had the black ones break on me, even when I load heavy things like cat litter.  The white ones I'll only use in the baby's diaper bin (even then I worry it will break).

Yep.  We use the black refuse bags as well usually.  They're much better!  

Sainsbury's do some garden bin bags with tie handles which are sort of greenish with a black inside. They aren't attached to each other which, for some reason, I like a lot and they are very strong. I use them all the time.

Marks & Sparks also do extra strong bin bags, which are very tough, but they put a disgusting scent on them which makes me feel a bit sick. I think I prefer the smell of the slightly rotting contents. *L*

thanks for the advice- I'm a bit embarrassed that using the black bags didnt occur to me before ?!

LOL!  Don't be embarrassed, at least this way the problem's easily sorted.  

I wish they used large plastic bins (we had wheeled ones in GA) over here tho instead of just putting it on the sidewalk (I am a rebel, it will always be sidewalk, not pavement! )
wench

I was actually going to post on this topic, the best kitchen bin liner I've found so far is the Wilko Swing Bin Liners (from Wilkinson), they're about the same as tesco shopping carrier bags in makeup, and the best I've found so far to fit my kitchen bin. For bigger liners, I use the Tesco black ones too.

I've found the bin liner battles a major hassle as well!
