We use ones we bought from Sam's Club very cheap--don't remember the brand since the box with the lifetime supply in it is stored in the attic. They are always picked up. If we have large cardboard to get rid of, it is knocked down and wrapped in clear plastic, and always picked up as well.

Since the clear bags from Sam's were so cheap, my husband thought we could put garbage in them on nonrecycle day and it would be picked up. Not so. After he chased after the garbage truck one day when they didn't pick up the garbage, the garbage man said it doesn't matter what color bag your garbage is in, it just can't be clear.
