Choosing the Right Heavy Duty Refuse Sacks for Your Business
Sep
Managing waste efficiently is just as important as managing stock, deliveries, and daily operations. Whether you’re running a restaurant, warehouse, school, hotel, retail store, or industrial facility, using the right refuse sack can help prevent spills, reduce clean-up time, and improve overall waste handling.
At Robert McCabe Packaging, we supply a range of heavy duty refuse sacks and wheelie bin liners suitable for commercial and industrial environments across Ireland. From everyday waste collection to heavier-duty applications, choosing the correct sack strength can improve efficiency while helping avoid unnecessary breakages and waste management issues.
Why Choose Heavy Duty Refuse Sacks?
Not all refuse sacks are manufactured to the same standard. Using bags that are too light for the job often results in:
- Splitting during handling
- Leaking waste
- Increased clean-up costs
- Additional bag usage
- Health and safety concerns
Heavy duty refuse sacks provide improved strength and durability for demanding environments where waste volumes are higher and bins are emptied frequently.
Understanding Gauge and Micron Thickness
Refuse sacks are commonly measured in both gauge and microns.
Generally speaking:
- Higher gauge = stronger sack
- Higher micron = thicker material
- Thicker sacks are better suited for heavier waste
Our refuse sack range includes:
| Product | Thickness |
|---|---|
| Black Refuse Sack | 180 Gauge (45 Micron) |
| Black Refuse Sack Heavy Duty | 300 Gauge (75 Micron) |
| White Refuse Sack | 250 Gauge (62.5 Micron) |
| Clear Refuse Sack | 160 Gauge (40 Micron) |
| Wheelie Bin Liner | 120 Gauge (30 Micron) |
By choosing the appropriate thickness, businesses can balance performance with cost efficiency.
