Reasons why you should use trash cans

If you typically put your trash straight into your trash can, you might wonder why you'd ever need trash bags. However, there are several advantages to using trash bags:
  • They keep trash cans cleaner for longer by creating a barrier between the can and waste.
  • Taking a trash bag to your service trash can is much easier than transporting a full trash can, as bags are lightweight with convenient handles.
  • They keep trash contained, minimizing the risk of loose trash polluting your neighborhood.
  • They can make your trash can smell nicer.
  • They're convenient for areas without service bins, as people can simply bag their trash up for collection.

Trash bag composition

Almost every trash bag on the market is made from polyethylene. Manufacturers use this plastic because it's firm and difficult to tear. You'll find trash bags made from low-density polyethylene and high-density polyethylene. Low-density polyethylene is more flexible and harder to tear. That makes it a great choice for large trash bags that can get heavy when full. High-density polyethylene is more rigid and difficult to puncture. Trash bags made from high-density polyethylene are thinner, so they're usually more affordable.

Trash bag ties

A trash bag's ties can make lining the trash can and gathering it up when it's full easier. You ideally want trash bag ties that are can easily fit inside your trash can. When you remove the trash bag, the ties should also close the bag tight shut to prevent loose trash from escaping. Ties should also be tough enough to support a heavy trash bag without breaking.

Standard loop handles are the most common. Drawstring tie bags create a very tight seal once they're shut. Flap ties make lining trash cans easy, although tying them can be more difficult if the bag is very full.

Odor control

Some trash bags have special odor control properties. Scented trash bags help mask the odors of trash. Trash bags with special chemical treatments can eliminate air molecules that cause common trash odors. Both these types of bags are ideal for kitchen trash cans with smelly food waste.
