Container & Liner Buying Guide

Standard Bags

Sized by gallon and length and width dimensions.

Accufit Bags

Sized to match specific cans. Resulting in less material and a lower cost. Correct sizing won't let bag fall into the can.

LongoPac Bags

Require a specific stand. Unique design that allows bags to be as long or as short as wanted. Zip tie is used to close bottom of bag, and when it is time to change, another zip tie is added to close the top of bag and cut to start next bag.

Container Size

Knowing what size your container is will better help you determine which size liner should be used. If the container gallon capacity is unknown, it can be easily identified by using a Trash Can Sizing Tape Measure. Contact a Product Specialist to request your complimentary sizing tape measure today!

Application

There are two types of plastics used for trash can liners—linear low density and high density. Both have specific applications where they are more suitable.

Smooth & Non-Sharp Materials:

• Cans/food without sharp edges.
• Grass, rags, smooth heavy objects.
• Paper plates, cups, towels, paper.

Use: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Ideal for paper and non-sharp objects under standard transport conditions. Low tear resistance. Uses less plastic than Linear Low Density bags. Excellent dry and wet load capacity.

Rough & Sharp Materials:

• Plastic eating utensils, food with rough edges.
• Sticks, rough yard trimmings, or glass.
• Metal with sharp edges.

Use: Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

Provides an excellent combination of strength, puncture resistance and tear resistance. Ideal for sharp objects and where transport conditions are tough.
