Trash bag container cover

Use of container garbage bags

These bags or covers serve as a protective covering for the internal wall of the containers and thus avoid tedious and expensive cleaning.
They are disposed of at the same time as household waste.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to remove the waste bag from the container with the rubbish, as this could cause injury due to the heavy load and the fact that these covers are not designed for this purpose.

Container cover models

They equip containers or rolling bins from 120 to 1100 liters.
The covers are available in various thicknesses from 20 to 55 microns. Given that these are protective covers, most users opt for 20 micron covers .
This thickness will be sufficient in tertiary industries where the waste is ultimately bulky but not heavy (office wastebasket, empty plastic bottle, etc.)
Using a 55 micron reinforced PE BD cover only makes sense if the weight of the waste or the type of waste (container or liquid) is justified . This may be the case in the food industry, kitchens, restaurants, condominiums, etc.
Another advantage of having a reinforced garbage bag is that it allows you to choose to reuse the cover in the container. This is often the argument put forward by users of this type of cover.

Perfectly, if during waste collection the cover remains attached to the container and is neither torn nor damaged, why change it ? It is therefore a way of saving money if you decide to have this management because as we know concerning plastics as for any other waste: "the best waste is that which is not produced".

Do I have to put a garbage bag in my garbage container?

No, of course, there is no obligation.
