Bin bags

A bin bag is a disposable bag used to collect and contain rubbish. They offer a convenient and sanitary way of collecting and disposing of waste, domestic refuse and litter. Rubbish bags are fairly lightweight and are particularly useful for messy or wet garbage such as food scraps and vegetable peelings.
Specialist sacks are also available for use with low-grade radioactive or clinical waste and these can also be supplied with specific printed warnings which can also be customised.

Waste sacks

Produced with recycled film and very strong, waste sacks are ideal for clearing office, garden and building rubbish. Clear waste sacks are ideal for office usage as their transparency helps ensure only the correct type of items are discarded or stored in the sack. Black sacks offer the perfect balance between bag strength and a budget price. To dispose of building materials left over in your garden your best bet might be ultra thick rubble sacks that are able to hold up to 40kg!

However you can also order eco-friendly bin liners that are made from biodegradable plastic or starch based materials (such as potato-starch).
