Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 13-gallon kitchen bags hold up when I carry them out so nothing leaks or bursts near my kids or pets?
Yes. The Hefty Ultra Strong bags feature 6-in-1 protection that combines flex strength, tough drawstring, leak resistance, puncture resistance, and rip resistance, so you can carry a full kitchen load to the curb without mid-carry blowouts that could spill waste around children or pets.
Does the continuous odor control release any flame, smoke, or harsh chemicals into my home air?
No. The Arm and Hammer continuous odor control works through the film itself and pairs with a Fabuloso Watermelon scent, so there is no flame, no smoke, no melting wax, and no aerosol spray, making it a cleaner choice for households with kids, pets, or allergy-sensitive family members.
Can I rely on the break-resistant drawstring to tie off the bag securely so curious hands cannot open it easily?
Yes. The break-resistant grip drawstring is designed for a secure tie-off that lifts cleanly from the can and stays knotted, which keeps waste contained and reduces the chance of a child reaching into a loose or torn bag.
Is this bag a safer everyday option than the cheap store-brand bags that always seem to rip on me?
Yes. The Ultra Strong 6-in-1 construction is engineered specifically to resist the leaks, punctures, and rips that store-brand bags commonly fail on, so you avoid the messy mid-carry spills that create slip and contamination hazards in family spaces.
Is the white polyethylene film strong enough that I am not constantly replacing torn bags and cleaning the can?
Yes. The white polyethylene film is built for rip and puncture resistance, and backed by Hefty's 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you spend less time on hands-and-knees can cleanups that often involve reaching near floors where children play.
Is this a safer choice than lighting a scented candle to mask kitchen odors?
Yes. The Fabuloso Watermelon scent and Arm and Hammer odor control are flameless and smoke-free, so you get continuous freshness without the open-flame, hot-wax, or indoor air-quality risks that come with burning candles around kids, pets, or while you sleep.
Is this bag safe to use every day in a home with infants or pets that get into everything?
Yes. There is no flame, no hot components, and no aerosolized chemicals. The bags simply contain waste, lock in odor through the film, and tie off securely with the drawstring, making them appropriate for daily use in homes with infants and curious pets.
If a bag does break, does Hefty stand behind it so I am not stuck with a mess?
Yes. Hefty backs these 13-gallon kitchen trash bags with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if a bag fails under normal use you can contact Hefty for a resolution, which lowers the risk of being left with a dangerous spill and no recourse.
How does Hefty Ultra Strong compare to Glad or store-brand kitchen bags for safety against mid-carry blowouts?
Hefty Ultra Strong markets a 6-in-1 protection system that explicitly includes tough drawstring, flex strength, and rip resistance, while many store-brand bags offer only a basic two-ply film. For shoppers whose main concern is avoiding surprise breakages near family members, the Hefty design is positioned as the more secure option.
Why should I pay more per bag for Ultra Strong instead of buying the cheapest 13-gallon liners I can find?
Cheap liners frequently tear at the seams or split on the drawstring, which forces you to clean up waste by hand, a clear safety and hygiene concern. Ultra Strong bags are designed to fail less often, and the 80-count bulk pack keeps the per-bag cost competitive against premium competitors.
I am worried about chemicals in scented products around my kids. Is the Fabuloso Watermelon scent safe for a family kitchen?
The scent is integrated into the bag's odor-control system and is released gradually as a light fragrance rather than sprayed into the air. Hefty formulates it for typical household kitchen use, and the bag does not produce combustion byproducts, making it a more family-friendly option than burning fragranced candles or aerosol room sprays.
How do I line a 13-gallon kitchen trash can with these Hefty bags?
Open the bag by shaking it open to separate the film, then drape it over the rim of a standard 13-gallon tall kitchen trash can. Press the bag down into the base and smooth the sides against the can walls so the drawstring hangs evenly over the rim, ready for tie-off when full.
How do I tie off and remove a full bag without spilling?
Pull the drawstrings upward and outward to lift the bag off the can rim, then pull the drawstrings firmly to one side so the bag cinches tightly at the top. Knot the drawstrings, then lift the bag straight up and out of the can, supporting the bottom with your other hand for heavier loads.
How should I store the unused bags so they stay fresh and ready to use?
Keep the unused bags in the original box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Storing them indoors, such as under the sink, in a pantry, or in a utility closet, helps preserve the scent and the film integrity.
Will these bags fit a standard 13-gallon tall kitchen trash can?
Yes. Hefty Ultra Strong 13 Gallon bags are sized specifically for standard 13-gallon tall kitchen trash cans, which is the most common kitchen size in U.S. households, so they should drop in without folding or trimming.
Are these bags compatible with touchless or step-on trash cans?
Yes. The 13-gallon size is compatible with most touchless, step-on, and simple manual kitchen trash cans. The break-resistant drawstring still allows the lid to operate normally and the bag to lift out cleanly when full.
What is included in the box and do I need to buy anything else to use them?
Each box contains 80 individually accessible 13-gallon white kitchen trash bags pre-scented with Fabuloso Watermelon and built with Arm and Hammer odor control. No additional accessories are required, and they are ready to use straight from the box in any standard 13-gallon kitchen can.
Are these bags safe for households with pets, and will pets try to chew them?
The bags are safe to use in homes with pets in the sense that they do not introduce toxic fumes or hot components, and the drawstring ties off securely. As with any trash bag, it is best to keep filled bags in a covered can and out of reach, because curious pets can still tear into waste inside the bag.
Can I compost these bags or are they recyclable?
Hefty Ultra Strong 13-gallon kitchen trash bags are made of polyethylene and are not certified compostable. Recycling rules vary by municipality; in many areas, clean polyethylene film can be returned through designated store drop-off programs, but bags that have held food waste generally should not go in curbside recycling.
What is the difference between Hefty Ultra Strong and regular Hefty kitchen bags?
Hefty Ultra Strong bags add 6-in-1 protection that explicitly combines flex strength, a tough drawstring, continuous odor control, leak resistance, puncture resistance, and rip resistance, along with the Arm and Hammer odor neutralizer and Fabuloso Watermelon scent. Regular Hefty kitchen bags cover the basics of size and fit, but do not bundle those extra durability and odor features into a single bag.
