Garbage bins are typically larger and used for storing waste before it’s collected or taken to a central disposal area. Garbage cans, or trash cans, are smaller in size and used for collecting waste before transferring it to a larger bin.
What type of garbage can do I need for my home?
Here are a few things to consider when choosing a garbage can:
· Size and capacity. Consider the amount of waste your household generates to determine the ideal size and capacity. For most families, 45 to 60-L cans are suitable for kitchen waste. Larger 120 to 350-L cans are better suited for yard waste and recycling.
· Material. Garbage cans are available in a range of durable materials. Plastic and stainless steel cans are sturdy, weather-resistant and easy to clean.
· Special features. Some garbage cans offer additional features like motion-sensor lids, locking lids to deter pests and built-in odour control.
Different types of trash bags for all your needs.
From kitchen scraps to recyclables and yard waste, find the right bag for any bin.
· Heavy-duty trash bags with reinforced seams or drawstring closures are ideal for high-volume or outdoor use.
· For kitchen waste, choose bags that are scented or help control odours. Leakproof bags with tie closures help prevent messes.
· Recycling bags in bright colors make it easy to sort and separate waste. Look for bags clearly marked for recycling.
· Compost bags allow food scraps and yard waste to break down efficiently.
