A garbage bag, also known as a trash bag or rubbish bag, is a disposable bag made of plastic or other materials designed to hold and contain waste materials. These bags are commonly used for collecting and disposing of household, office, or industrial waste. They come in various sizes and strengths to accommodate different types of waste and to prevent leaks or tears. Garbage bags are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE). They are manufactured in different colors, with black and white being the most common. The black bags are often used for regular household waste, while clear or transparent bags are used in some areas to make it easier to identify the contents. These bags play a crucial role in waste management and sanitation practices, allowing for the convenient and hygienic disposal of garbage. They are commonly used in homes, businesses, public places, and during events or gatherings. After filling the garbage bag, it is typically tied shut to seal the waste and prevent odors and litter from escaping.
