What is the difference between black and clear refuse sacks?

Black Heavy Duty Refuse Sacks

Ideal for general waste, janitorial use, warehouses, and removals. The black colour keeps contents concealed, giving a clean and professional finish. Made with 30% recycled content for an environmentally responsible option.
