The manufacturers don’t make bags just for NYC.
I buy black for garbage going into my trash cans for pick up or to take to the town transfer station.
I buy white in the tall kitchen size for the cans in our kitchens and in the smaller size to line bedroom waste baskets. These get collected into a large black bag on trash night each week and put into the cans that go to the curb.
The white bags are not as thick as the black and would not hold up with a 33 gallon load.
BTW, they also make RED bags which is for medical waste.
Our town requires these not just for medical offices, but currently for the trash from any home with a confirmed Covid-19 patient. They don’t get mixed in the general trash. There is a storage trailer at the transfer station and it is held 14 days after it is full before processing for disposal
