Reasonable site to purchase clear liners for newspaper recyclingbags?

I got a "little" behind in my newspaper reading - well more than a little
(LOL), and I have to throw out what seems like a ton of old newspapers. My
city has recycling laws and they have to be put in crystal clear trash
liners before pickup.

I ordered several hundred from a very reputable site that advertised clear
bags, and the shipment was prompt. However, the bags were more of the
"cloudy" clear kind. They sort of looked like the type you would get in a
s supermarket - only alot larger. The bags need to be of the crystal
clear variety - sort of like plastic wrap - only a little thicker.

I'm looking for 45-55 gallon bags. I've done Google searches and see bags
that are marked clear, but the prices are quite for 100 - 200 bags. Before
I start calling the web vendors to make sure the bags are really clear, I
was hoping that someone else has experience with purchasing them.

Just out of curiosity .. are the plastic bags a code requirement, or
just the city's admin saying so? Seems rather dumb, and wasteful.
Can't put newspaper in a bin and place it at the curb? Our city has
small bins for single-family homes, and large roll-out containers for
multi. Scoop and dump. City provides containers, included in mo. fee.
