Figuring out the right liner size for your new urban trash can is simpler than you might think! First, grab a measuring tape. You'll want to measure the inside dimensions of your can. Start with the height: measure from the very bottom of the can up to the top rim. Next, measure the width (or diameter if it's a round can). Finally, don't forget to measure the circumference around the top opening.
Once you have these numbers, you can confidently shop for liners. Look for bags that list their dimensions on the package. A good rule of thumb is to choose a bag height that is at least equal to, or slightly greater than, the height of your can. This allows you to fold the top of the bag over the rim for a secure fit. For the width, the bag should be wide enough to fit comfortably inside without too much extra slack, which can cause it to slip down.
If your can has a unique shape, like a rectangular or slim design, paying close attention to the width and length measurements is crucial. Remember, a well-fitting liner prevents tears, contains odors, and makes taking out the trash a clean and easy task. Happy organizing
