Selecting the right liner is key to maintaining cleanliness and efficiency throughout your facility. Whether you’re managing lightweight office waste or heavy-duty disposal in foodservice and industrial environments, we offer a wide variety of liner types—each designed to perform reliably in its intended setting.

Choosing the right trash can liner might seem simple, but getting the right fit and strength can actually save time, reduce waste, and prevent messy leaks. Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the correct trash liner:

🗑️ 1. Know Your Trash Can Size

• Measure the bin’s height (with lid open), width, and depth.

• Use these to calculate the liner dimensions:

  • Width of liner = (Width + Depth of can) + 3–6 inches (for overhang)

  • Height of liner = Height of can + ½ of Depth + 4–6 inches (for tie-off)

📦 2. Choose the Right Liner Type

• Low-Density (LDPE): Thicker and stretchable – great for heavy, sharp, or irregular waste (like kitchen, industrial, or construction use).

• High-Density (HDPE): Thinner but stronger against punctures – best for paper or lightweight office trash.

⚖️ 3. Pick the Right Strength

• Consider the load weight and contents:

  • Lightweight use: 6–10 microns (HDPE) or 0.3–0.6 mil (LDPE)

  • Heavy/rough use: 22+ microns (HDPE) or 1.2+ mil (LDPE)

♻️ 4. Choose Color by Application

• Clear: Good for recycling or visibility of contents.

• Black: Ideal for hiding waste and for general garbage.

• White: Common in office or healthcare settings – clean look.

• Blue, Green, Red, etc.: Often used to color-code waste (recyclables, compost, biohazard, etc.).

✅ 5. Other Features to Consider

• Star-seal bottoms prevent leaks by distributing weight evenly.

• Flat or gusseted bottoms are better for rigid containers.

• Drawstring or tie-top closures offer easy removal and sealing.
