Trash Bags & Contractor Bags (197 items found)

Trash bags are essential for keeping your home, yard and workspace tidy and organized. Whether you need wastebasket liners or heavy-duty trash bags to manage bulky yard debris or tackle contractor jobs, you’ll find what you need at Ace Hardware.

Trash Bags for Indoor and Outdoor Cans

From extra-durable construction garbage bags to everyday kitchen liners, these bags come in various dimensions depending on your needs. Size and shape are great starting points when comparing products. Both outdoor trash cans and indoor trash cans vary widely in size, so you want to ensure you’re buying the right type of bag for your bin.

Tall and short trash can liners are commonly used for kitchens and bathrooms, but trash compactor bags designed to fit square canisters are also available for kitchens equipped with compactors. Larger bags are typically the better choice for outdoor garbage collection by the curb. To help you find the best fit, many trash can liners are designed to fit specific styles and brands of trash cans.

Compare Closures and Special Features of Trash Bags

Taking out the trash isn’t the most exciting chore, but innovations in trash bag design have made the job quicker, cleaner and more pleasant. Here are the most common closures and features for both heavy-duty garbage bags and standard trash bags.

Closure Options

• Drawstrings: Drawstring bags provide a secure closure and make carrying trash to the curb a breeze.
• Twist ties: Twist ties keep bags tightly sealed and are often included with standard trash bags.
• Flap ties: These built-in flaps simplify tying and securing your bag without extra accessories.

Special Features

• Odor control: Say goodbye to unpleasant smells with trash bags that neutralize odors or feature fresh fragrances.
• Stretchy material: Designed to resist tearing, stretchable bags expand to accommodate bulky or irregularly shaped items.
• Reinforced bottoms: Prevent leaks and spills with bags that have extra reinforcement in the base.

Types of Trash Bags

Got a big job? While standard plastic trash bags are fine for everyday use, contractor bags and other durable varieties are available for tougher jobs like construction refuse or bulky yard waste. Keep in mind the type of trash you’ll dispose of as you weigh your options.

• Standard trash bags: These lightweight bags are perfect for kitchen and bathroom trash cans. They're available in various sizes and often feature odor control and drawstring closures for added convenience.
• Recycling bags: Transparent or blue bags specifically designed for recyclables like paper, plastic and glass. Ace also carries a great selection of recycling bins to make recycling even easier.
• Trash compactor bags: Made for use with trash compactors, these bags are extra strong to handle compressed waste and prevent leaks.
• Compostable bags: Eco-friendly and designed for biodegradable waste, these bags break down in composting conditions.
• Lawn and leaf bags: These heavy-duty bags are crafted for yard waste, like leaves, grass clippings and branches. Some lawn and leaf bags are compostable, while others are reusable for multiple cleanup sessions.
• Contractor Bags: Compared to standard trash bags, contractor bags are generally thicker and larger, allowing them to hold more waste. Hence, you might also hear them referred to as bulk trash bags.
• Construction Bags: Like contractor bags, construction trash bags are specifically designed to handle heavy loads like drywall, concrete or demolition debris. They offer maximum strength to withstand tears and punctures while holding large volumes of waste.
