I'm sure you will agree there is nothing more "dignified" than when birds and other critters peck away at the bags and your secrets are all over the street.

I continue to use Walmart bags. The price is right and I am cheap.

Do you have any idea how much damage TV is doing to the environment by not providing trash cans as opposed to requiring residents to use plastic bags?
It's actually shameful!
I purchase the black trash bags in bulk at Costco. They even stretch. As for the environment, our trash is incinerated and recycled to electricity by Covanta, including the plastic bags. How is that harmful to our environment?
