What to consider when purchasing bin bags
If you are shopping for bin bags, here are the most important things to consider:
- Bin size or bag capacity: Always match the bag to the bin’s volume (e.g. 5L, 30L, 50L, etc.) Bin bags that are too small will overflow and bags that are too large don’t fit in your bin securely and waste material.
- What kind of waste you’re disposing of: Light waste such as paper, packaging and dry rubbish should be places in light or medium duty bin bags, while garden waste, food scraps, broken glass or bottles should be placed in heavy-duty bags that are strong, thick, tear and puncture resistant.
- Material and strength: Bin bags are commonly made from HDPE, LDPE or LLDPE, and reinforced materials. HDPE is high density polyethylene and is good for light waste, but more likely to tear with strain. LDPE is a low-density polyethylene, which is more flexible and more resistant to punctures and stretching. Reinforced bags are heavy-duty bags that are suited to heavier waste.
- Closure style: Drawstring bin bags are easy to tire up and lift out of your bins, making them ideal for kitchen bins or everyday use. Simple tie-handle or fold over bags are cheaper but may not seal as securely as bin liners with other closure styles.
- Environmental impact: If sustainability matters to you, you should consider purchasing recycled plastic bags, which reuse existing materials, or biodegradable bin bags.
- Compatibility with local waste rules: Some types of waste may need special waste sacks, as regular bin bags might not be enough. It’s also important to check if your local waste collection accepts some types of bin bags, such as compostable bags.
Choosing the right bin bag makes waste disposal easier, cleaner, and far more efficient. Explore your options, choose what suits your needs and place bin bags in your basket for your next

Common Questions
What size bin bag do I need?
Choose a bin bag, or bin liner, that matches your bin’s capacity. This will typically range anywhere from 5 litres to 120 litres. Measuring your bin’s height and circumference can also ensure a perfect fit. Purchase bin bags at 123ink.ie now.
What is the difference between LDPE and HDPE bin bags?
LDPE bin bags are more flexible, stretchier and more puncture resistant, while HDPE bags are thinner, lighter, and can tear easier. Choose LDPE or HDPE bin bags on 123ink.ie.
Are compostable bin bags good for the environment?
Compostable bin bags can be better for the environment, especially for food waste, but only if they’re EN 13432 certified and accepted by your local waste collection facility. Compostable bags are designed to break down, so they may not hold heavy or wet waste as well as regular bags. Place your order for bin bags at 123ink.ie now!
