Notice how plastic leaf-bag ties are no longer included? Some include the short, wimpy vinyl-coated wire ties. However, they're next to useless as they'll slide off a heavy bag, spilling leaves or unwind themselves, leaving you with a mess to clean up....again. Finally, getting them "tight" isn't really possible.
What to do?
You need the ultimate permanent bag-closing knot: The Constrictor
This is one ferociously-tight knot when firmly cinched down. So much so that it's best untied with a knife. It'll never slip off of a heavy bag full of leaves, like the big, heavy, construction bags. Don't need any fancy cord either as the mason's twine previously discussed works fine.
You can easily and quickly tie a Constrictor around a few fingers or in free-air in either a bight or end. I also use it to anchor the end of a rope on the sled's roof rack.
No more spilled leaf bags. No more refusal by the trashman to pick them up because they were not properly tied. None of that! This is a very usefull knot and well worth learning.
