Common Problems and Effective Solutions for Urban Trash Cans

How do I know what size garbage bag to use for my outdoor trash bin?

Figuring out the correct garbage bag size for your outdoor trash bin is simpler than you might think, and getting it right can save you from messy spills and frustration. First, grab a tape measure and check the dimensions of your bin—note the height, width, and depth. Most outdoor bins are designed to hold standard bag sizes, so knowing the gallon capacity is key; common sizes like 30, 40, or 55 gallons are often listed on the bin itself or in the manual. If not, you can calculate it roughly by measuring the volume or looking up the model online. Once you have the gallon size, choose a bag that matches or is slightly larger to ensure a secure fit over the rim without tearing. For example, a 40-gallon bin pairs well with 42-45 gallon bags for extra coverage. Avoid bags that are too small, as they might not cover the entire bin and could lead to overflow, or ones that are too large, which can sag and collect water. If your bin has unique features like a rectangular shape or a locking lid, opt for bags labeled for "outdoor" or "heavy-duty" use to handle weather and weight. In summary, measure your bin, match the gallon capacity, and test a bag to confirm it fits snugly—this small effort keeps your outdoor space tidy and efficient.
