Depends on several factors - if it is tied or not those that aren't tied usually don't "pop" due to the lack of pressure built inside the bag however the bags that are tied tightly will most generally "pop" at some point while in the truck if they are not "popped" from the pack cycle.
A bag which is not tied at the top however, may still pop depending on how/where it lands in the hopper when the garbagemen throw it in - this too can determine if there will be any trapped air in it (and it will therefore "pop") when the packer draws the load into the body.
Nearly all bags will pop if they are in the pinch point of the packer blade, especially if there are other bags behind them.
Another determining factor is the type of packing mechanism, those that mutilate the waste rather than flatly compress it with moving walls or plates - examples such as screw compactors, revolving drum compactors and the like will usually tear and rip the bags open before any air can build up inside.

What does garbage collector do with garbage?
Once your garbage is in the garbage truck it is then taken to a "Transfer Station." The garbage truck is emptied into this facility by means of hydraulics pushing all of the material onto a concrete floor. At this point the garbage is ran over and over by a compactor (this is a loader with steel knob wheels and a push blade on the front instead of a bucket.) The garbage is then loaded by this same "compactor" into a trailer that has an open top. For visual help... The trailer is already attched to the semi. It is driven into a loading area below the floor of the transfer station and the compacted waste is pushed off of the edge. Once loaded the semi truck takes the waste to a Municiple Solid Waste Landfill. Once at Landfill, the semi unloads into a designated area and the garbage is worked over again and again. Eventually, the waste is covered with earthen material when that designated area is full.
