Below are dimensions for the BAGS we stock.
These are not dimensions for trash cans.TIP: Bag dimensions need to be larger than the trash can to allow for overhang, grasp, and closure.
linear low density (lld) trash bags are strong, flexible and highly resistant to
puncturing and tearing. They are ideal for kitchen trash,
construction debris or trash that includes glass, metal, wood,
cardboard or irregular shaped items.
high density (hd) can liners are a more cost-effective option. Manufactured
from different resins, they are thinner than Linear Low
Density bags and are not as puncture resistant, yet they can
carry very heavy loads.
Low Density (LD) trash bags are strong, flexible and highly resistant to puncturing and tearing. They are ideal for kitchen trash, construction debris or trash that includes glass, metal, wood, cardboard or irregularly shaped items. The thickness of a Low Density bag is measured in Mil so a higher Mil count means a thicker bag. The Mil count of our trash bags range from 0.7 Mil to 6.0 Mil. Use a higher Mil count bag for sharper, heavier, or larger amounts of trash.
High Density (HD) can liners, because of their chemical composition, are a very cost-effective option, Manufactured from different resins, they are thinner than Linear Low Density bags and are not as puncture resistant, however, they can carry very heavy loads. High Density liners are ideal for office waste, bathroom waste and for trash cans located in many public areas where sharp trash is not deposited. Not recommended for kitchen trash or trash with sharp edges such as glass, nails, wood, or cardboard.
Heavy weight high density garbage bags are still a bit daintier than their low-density cousins, but in spite of that they are super strong. Think of them as the black swan ballerinas of the garbage bag world. They may look delicate, but underneath they’re pure muscle and grit. At only 17 microns thick, these bags have a load capacity of 75 lbs. That’s pretty amazing. Just don’t put them in contact with anything too sharp, to avoid punctures. (if you throw away a lot of pointy trash, check out our huge selection of low density garbage bags. They love that stuff.)

Bottom Line Peace Of Mind.
If you’re using these bags for storage, try the clear garbage bags. They let you see everything inside without needing to rummage around. They’re also handy as recycling garbage bags to help you sort your trash before pickup. The clear trash bags are also helpful for anyone with a habit of absentmindedly throwing things away by accident: not that we’ve ever done that! If you prefer to hide unsightly trash from view, the standard black garbage bags have you covered. Because high density trash bags use so much less resin when they are made, they are extremely cost effective, which makes them a very economical choice for home or work. If you need a large quantity of garbage bags for high traffic areas, these can be extremely effective. When you buy wholesale garbage bags, you pay much less per bag.
