How to Choose the Right Garbage Bag Thickness

Choose garbage bag thickness based on the type of waste rather than price or bag size alone. The heavier, sharper or wetter the waste, the more important bag strength becomes.

General office, retail and light commercial waste may require a thinner bag. Waste containing glass, metal edges, timber offcuts or wet food waste generally requires a stronger bag with a higher micron rating.

As a general guide, 45 micron and above is commonly used for heavy duty garbage bag applications. The appropriate thickness can vary depending on the bag dimensions, material and type of waste.

If you are unsure which garbage bag to choose, consider the waste type, bin capacity, bag dimensions and required strength before ordering.
