What makes a good
trash can liner good? For over 15 years I've helped people
who come in to our cleaning supply facility find the exact
product that they're looking for. From repeated feedback and
just generally spending the time to talk to out customers I
have found that when people buy can liners they buy it because
they have individual needs and they're looking for the perfect
can liner for their application. There's a lot of information
and terminology in the trash bag industry and so there should
be because there are hundreds of different types of can
liners. Trash can liners are packaged in different ways and
be made of different materials. Trash can liners also come in
many colors but the main colors in the cleaning industry are
black, clear and tan. Usually other colors of trash can
liners convey a specific use for that liner; a great example
of this is that red trash can liners are usually used in
health care facilities. Trash can liner size is probably the
most important factor when purchasing a trash can liner. When
you fit your trash can liner into your waste container the
trash bag should fit snuggly to the top of the waste container
without stretching it and the bottom of the can liner should
reach all the way to the bottom of the waste container. Trash
can liners also come in may different types of packaging.
Some of these types of packing include rolled trash can
liners, rolled coreless can liners and loose flat pack. The
last trait of a can liner you should be concerned about is
type of plastic the can liner is made from. The two main
types of grades of trash can liners is linear low density
trash can liners and high density trash can liners.
When choosing a
color for your trash can liner take a look at what you are
going to use the trash can liner for. Black trash can liners
are great for concealing garbage and are generally used for
everyday trash. Clear trash can liners are usually required by
law and ordinances in some cities for recycling products.
Clear liners ensure that the contents of the bag is recyclable
just by looking at the full bag. Most clear trash can liners
are classed as a linear low density liner.
The size of the
trash bag is very important. A trash can that is to small for
your waste receptacle can tear when you are fitting it in. If
the trash can liner does not reach all the way to the bottom
of your receptacle it can break under the weight of the
garbage in it. A liner that is to large can easily slip all
the way into the waste receptacle and be lost in the garbage
as it is filled up with trash. To be sure that your are
purchasing a trash bag that is the right size for your waste
receptacles you should check with the manufacturer specs of
your waste container for exact dimensions.
The way a trash
can liner is packaged is also a consideration to be taken when
purchasing them. Flat pack can liners are packaged separately
and then folded into a rectangular box. Flat pack liners are
great when you are purchasing large volumes of trash can
liners because they can be easily stacked. Roll trash bags
are perfect for janitor carts or trash can liner wall
dispensers. Some roll trash can liners are joined by a
perforation on the roll and are torn from the roll gently when
you get one. Coreless can liners are rolled into rolls
without a core. These trash can liners are great if your
trying to save space.
The two main
types or classes of toilet paper are linear low density and
high density. Linear low density liners stretch when you
press against the plastic. This type of trash can liner is
great for regular indoor garbage that is light weight and does
not contain and sharp materials. Linear low density liners
are for the most part is more water resistant and have a
tighter seal at the bottom of the liner. High density liners
are made from a thicker plastic that has much less stretching
capacity than linear low density trash can liners. High
density liners are great for large and heavy objects and
larger waste containers.
Overall, when
purchasing a trash can liner make sure it is made by a
reputable company and don't be afraid to ask if the
manufacturer has had any recent defective bags. From my past
experience at least 1 in every one hundred cases of trash bags
is usually defective.
