rubbish bin bags

phil_b

Im trying to have a clear out and de clutter.

The bin bags you get from the supermarket are very thin and rip too easily and I could do with something better. rubble sacks are too small. Any recommendations please

Garden sacks...

Scientists have revealed they have developed graphene, claimed to be the thinnest substance known to man. 

They’ve obviously never seen a Tesco’s value bin bag.

you can get heavy duty bin bags. They're also rubbish, but if you double them up they're OK.

You know those films where they kill someone, cut em up and put them in bin bags ? well try that with an Asda bin bag and you will have an arm splitting through the side and claret all over the floor before you ever got it loaded into the car boot. 

I use garden refuse sacks (for normal kitchen shit not bodies ) twice the price but less likely to break. The next step up is rubble sacks but these are generally small as if you filled a large one with rubble you would never lift it.

So what do you use for the bodies?

Erm - asking for a friend...

Claret everywhere? Rookie mistake, you’ve  got to wait for the blood to coagulate.

The very best bags I have had are the bags our coal used to be delivered in.  Exactly the right size for garden waste, and very durable.
If you want to buy new bags try Transatlantic Plastics on the IOW.

I bought these   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Medium-Black-Refuse-Rubbish-Liners/dp/B076KR54X9/ref=psdc_182304031_t1_B076KPLV1V
As bin bags they are very good, not rubble sack thickness but they aren't see through, I haven't torn any and they don't stink like many cheaper brands I have used. YMMV

We bought a roll of 50 black bags just before we moved. The place we moved to had a load of stuff in the shed and garage and we were expecting to throw loads of things out that’d need bagging up. Discovered on the first bin collection day that we’re not allowed to put black bags in the bins.

Ouch! Separate local authority recycling & waste regulations in England are totally unfit for purpose & have been for years.

I think this is to do with the systems at recycling plants being foiled by anything black, they can’t identify ( and thus recycle) the materials. 

We have a collection of those large blue bags with the yellow straps you get from IKEA. Although we don’t throw them away they are pretty heavy duty for transferring rubbish, general garden waste,etc. Ours will have been used for shopping, as laundry bags, for garden waste, for trips to the tip,etc, so used many times over and I don’t  think even the tattiest one has needed to be thrown away yet. 50p instore.

They won’t go to waste (bad pun not intended). We’ll just use them for weed cover mats or something. I think you’re right @EricTheWeary about the black colour bamboozling the recycling machinery, heard something similar before.

I bought a picture disc of forever Free by W.A.S.P in 89 as I walked out the store it fell straight through the bottom of the thin carrier they put it in and cracked . I should have gone in and demanded an exchange as their bag was at fault , but I used to get flustered at checkouts at the time
