This comprehensive guide evaluates trash bags perfect for college students based on key criteria: strength, cost, capacity, and handle durability. We prioritized budget-friendly options due to students' financial concerns and tested multiple brands to determine which bags can withstand varying weights. Our rigorous testing involved filling bags with bottled and non-bottled water to measure durability and assessing their capacity. In the end, Hefty emerged as the top choice, balancing quality and cost effectively. Find the right trash bag for your college needs!

Introduction • We tested trash bags that best suit college students.
Overview of Options and Criteria From most important to least important criteria: • Bag strength • Cost • Bag space • Strength of handles Brands:
Test 1: Cost • Foremost important • Reason: College students concerned about finances. • Cost for 40 bags of each brand.
Test 2: Strength or durability • Second most important criteria • Strength refers to how much weight the bag can hold before it rips • Reason: Bag must hold what’s put into it • We tested this criteria by two methods: • Filling the bags with gallons of bottled water until they burst. • Filling the bags with water (not bottled) until they burst.
Test 3: Capacity • Third most important criteria • Reason: varies the least across different brands. • All brands claimed to hold 13 gallons of water.
Test 4: Handles • Least important criteria • Reason: barely influences a college student’s decision. • We carried this test out based on if the bags have handles or not and how resistant the handles are.
