Unitex® Trash Liners, Performance HD High Density

High-density liners are ideal for disposing of refuse with no sharp objects or protruding edges. Food service environments and other areas with food-based refuse or trash with liquids should use high-density liners.

How to Choose the Right Size Liner
A quick and easy way to save money is to simply make sure you’re using the right sized liner for your trash cans. Take a look at your trash cans right now: is there a lot of extra plastic hanging over the rim? If there is, you’re wasting money on all that unused plastic.

Here's a handy guide for choosing the right sized liner for your cans. (Note: This is just a general guide. Odd-shaped containers may require a larger or longer bag. If you’re unsure as to what size liner you need, contact a Jon-Don representative for assistance at 800-556-6366.)

Step 1: Using a flexible tape measure, measure the circumference of your container at the top.
Step 2: Measure the height of your container.
Step 3: Add the numbers together and match them to the guide below to find the right size liner for your can.

• Up to 65 inches – 8-10 gallons
• 65-73 inches – 12-16 gallons
• 73-86 inches – 20-30 gallons
• 86-96 inches – 33 gallons
• 96-101 inches – 40-45 gallons
• 101-108 inches – 55-60 gallons

What trash bag gauge is right for you?
Too thick wastes money, too thin increases messes from ripped bags and promotes unnecessary double bagging.

• Gauge: Term used to describe a liner's thickness. Low-density liners are measured in mils. High-density liners are usually measured in microns. Low-density liners are thicker than high-density liners.
• Mil: Based on thousands of an inch (0.000). Low-density liners are best used for carrying large loads or for carrying loads with sharp objects.
  • .35 - .45 - Light Duty
  • .70 - .95 - Medium Duty
  • 1.10 - 1.50 - Heavy Duty
  • 1.70 - 2.0 - Extra Heavy Duty
• Micron: Based on one hundred thousand thousandths of an inch (0.000000). Common high-density liner thickness range between 6 and 22 microns. High density liners are ideal for food service or for disposal of trash with liquids.
