shopping > packaging > rubbish bags > discount rubbish bagsThe traditional black bin bag can actually come in an amazing range of colours and materials. Some UK councils still insist that a black bag be used for refuse collections as colour is often used to denote the contents are a specific type of waste.
The thickness (gauge) of a bag can vary according to the strength it requires. A 350 - 550 gauge bag should have no trouble holding 40 kg, making them useful for collecting aggregrate or light builder's waste; sorry, that came our wrong, clinical and specimen bags are dealt with in the next paragraph! We mean things like old bricks and bits of stone. Likewise economy bin bags will typically only have a thickness of 80 gauge meaning they are only suitable for lighter typical household waste.
Liners for pedal bins, square bins and swing bins normally come in a thin white material are increasingly common in clear material to allow the contents to be identified easily.
Recycled and hazardous materials are often denoted by the colour of the bag or a design upon it. Gardeners for instance use the green recycling sack and the wheelie bin liner wheras extra thick Asbestos and Clinical Waste sacks must be pre-printed with the correct statutory information and logos.
For a green environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic and polythene rubbish bags, why not try a starch based product. See our entire listings for biodegradable bags and film.
