SELECTION
- Explore ALL your options.The thickness or color you are looking for may not be available in your size, so ROUND UP or DOWN a couple of inches.
- Disregard the GALLON Size. Sometimes.The Gallon size listed on your trash can may be different from the trash bag that fits. i.e. 32 Gallon Toter trash cans actually need a 55 Gallon bag!
STEP 1: Determine the width of the trash bag you will need:
For square/rectangle trash cans: Take the perimeter (sum of all the sides) of your trash can and divide by 2. This will be the width of your trash bag.
(Example: Perimeter of can = 32”Width of trash bag = Perimeter (32) divided by two = 16”)
For round trash cans: Take the diameter (width of your trash can) and multiply by 3.14 (pi). Take this number and divide by 2. This will be the width of your trash bag.(Example: Diameter = 16"Width of trash bag = 16 x 3.14 = 50”;50 divided by 2 = 25.) STEP 2: Determine the height of the trash bag you will need:
Measure the height of your trash can or look up its dimensions online. Add four inches for overhang plus half the width (diameter) to cover the bottom of your can. This will be your trash bag’s height.
Example: Toter 64 Gallon Wheeled Trash CanHeight: 42"Diameter/Width: 24"Bag height needed: 42 (can height) + 4 (overhang) + 12 (1/2 can width) = 60.
That’s it. You’re done. You got your width, you got your height. You're good to go!Note: While your measurements may not match up exactly, simply rounding up or down a few inches should be just fine. (You can always speak with one of our reps just to be sure.)Just one last detail...HOW THICK SHOULD YOUR TRASH BAG BE?For every day, kitchen-type trash, a .90 Mil will do just fine.
For heavier trash and items with sharp edges (cardboard boxes, wood, metal, yard waste), choose a 1.5 Mil bag or higher.
For light trash (papers, tissues, etc.), thinner, high density bags will suit your needs.
