Size matters: Match the bag size to your bin to avoid overflow or tearing.

Double-bag when needed: For heavy or wet waste, use two bags to reinforce.

Avoid sharp objects: Wrap broken glass or metal in newspaper before tossing.

Don’t overfill: Leave room at the top so the bag can be tied securely.

Cool, dry place: Keep unused bags in a cabinet or drawer away from moisture and heat.

Avoid compression: Don’t crush the roll—this can cause tears when pulling out a new bag.
