Heavy Duty Trash Bags

When it comes to heavy duty trash bags, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind to select the right ones for your needs at home or in the office. First, consider the size of heavy duty trash bags that you require. Second, you should think about the material. Finally, assess which additional features are important to you, such as closure type and odor control.

Heavy duty trash bags come in all sizes

You'll want to ensure the heavy duty garbage bags you choose are big enough to accommodate all the trash you need to put in them. We carry 13-gallon kitchen trash bags to 56-gallon large, plus the trash cans to go with them.

Choosing the material that works best for you

Some heavy duty trash bags are made from recycled materials, while others are not. We also carry compostable options, which are a better choice for disposing of organic matter like food waste. Choose the option that's best for you and the environment with our selection of heavy duty garbage bags.

Additional features of heavy duty trash bags

Another consideration you might make when selecting your heavy duty trash bags is the closure method you prefer and whether you would like a scented or unscented bag. Heavy duty trash bags come in quick tie and drawstring options, so you can select the closure method you prefer. Quick tie garbage bags require you to leave a little space at the top of the bag so you can tie off the bag but are usually less expensive than an equivalent bag with a drawstring closure. You may also want an option with an extra scent for odor control - we carry options in fresh floral, citrus, and clean laundry scents.

FAQ

What makes a trash bag "heavy duty"?

Heavy duty garbage bags are made to handle more weight and tougher materials without tearing, like kitchen scraps or yard waste. They're usually thicker than regular bags and made from stronger plastic so they can hold a lot without breaking.

How thick are heavy duty trash bags?

Heavy duty trash bags tend to be around 1.2 to 1.5 mils thick. This thickness helps them resist punctures and tears when you're throwing away sharp or heavy items.

Are high density or low density trash bags stronger?

High density trash bags are usually thinner but can hold more weight without tearing because they're made of a strong material. Low density garbage bags are thicker and more stretchy, so they're better for sharp or rough trash that might poke holes in the bag.
