Selecting The Right Bin Liner

Choosing a bin liner may seem like a simple task, but you need to consider two important things: what type of rubbish are you disposing of, and how much is there? Choosing the right product for your specific waste handling needs ensures that you won’t run into any issues with buying bin liners that either don’t fit or aren’t strong enough!

How can I tell what bin liners will handle my waste?

The thickness of our LDPE/HDPE bags is measured by a unit called Microns (Mu). Determining the thickness of your bin liners is important to ensure that they’re strong enough to handle the waste you’re disposing

Here’s a quick guide to how you can determine what thickness bags correlate with being light/medium or heavy duty:

If your purpose isn't listed here, don't worry - this is just a general guide. Contact us directly if you're unsure what kind you'll need, and we'll be able to help! Another good thing to do to avoid rips and tears is to make sure to check the weight rating/capacity of the bin liners you’re looking at purchasing

What are you using the bin liner for?

Are you just looking to line a bin to save time having to clean it later, carry waste from one place to another, or capture fine particles such as sawdust? Make sure to take into consideration where the bin liners are going to be used – while collecting waste in a bathroom might only require light duty bags as the waste won’t be too heavy, a café or supermarket disposing of food waste and empty bottles might need something heavier duty to carry the load.
