Can liners are among the most purchased items in any facility and among the most misunderstood. A liner that is too thin fails under the weight of the waste it is holding. A liner that is too heavy for the job costs more than it needs to. Getting the specification right is a small decision that adds up to real savings or real headaches over the course of a year.
A few things worth checking on your current program: high-density liners work well for food service, restrooms, and light office waste, while low-density liners hold up better against sharp edges and heavier loads. Gauge should match the actual weight and type of waste, not just habit or what has always been ordered. And liner size should be based on your container's height and circumference, not guesswork.
We put together a full breakdown of how to match liner type, gauge, and size to your facility's specific applications, including a framework for restrooms, break rooms, offices, healthcare, and industrial areas.
