Lawn, leaf, trash bags have become quite pricey for items that are taken by the trash contractor. Which bag is the strongest? Does less mean more with price? I've used three brands of lawn and leaf bags this year and have noticed the differences in quality and price.

Strength
I found the Hefty to be the stronger bag overall. The seams were stronger for the Hefty than the Amazon whether the bags are used for trash or outside materials. The 'feel' of the Hefty was also stronger and felt thicker than the Amazon bag.
Recommendation
The Amazon bags were fine for light to medium weight leaves or branches. If you have branches being broken down or put as cut in the bags than the Hefty is superior to prevent seams from splitting or branches poking through sides of the bag. I have also purchased the Ace Hardware brand of bags which I found similar to the Hefty in price and strength.
As always double check with your municipality as to the restrictions for disposal of leaves, plants, branches and trash.
