4 ingenious ways to prevent trash bags from slipping
Putting a trash bag into the can sounds like a straightforward enough task, no? But if you are not paying attention, the next time you forcefully toss something into that bin, the bag can simply slip inside. Now that’s a mess you definitely don’t want in the middle of the day! So here are some simple but effective ingenious solutions where you can use everyday objects to secure the trash bag firmly to the can. Pick the right size You’ll notice with trash bags; there is never a one-size-fits-all solution. Trash cans usually come in rectangular, square, or circular shapes. So, you must narrow down the nearest size based on that shape to secure it firmly and prevent it from slipping off the rim. Use extra-large rubber bands After you’ve rolled up the edge sleeves of the trash bag onto the rim of the can, use a couple of large-size rubber bands to secure the bags. It does seem like an extra step, especially when you want to make the chore less cumbersome. But securing the bag with a large rubber band will keep it in place until you have to empty its contents. Use binder clips This is a less dirty and quicker way to secure the bags to the can.
