Sometimes, regular garbage bags just aren’t enough. Anyone who has ever worked in construction, landscaping, food service, home improvement, etc. knows that you sometimes need contractor bags for the heavy, sharp, or irregular item clean-up.
Contractor bags come in several different sizes and different mils. The higher the mil, the stronger the bag will be. If you work with very heavy or sharp materials, such as metal, wood, or glass, you’ll want to get bags with the thickest mil possible. If most of your refuse is liquid, grass, or other lighter materials, you can get away with a thinner mil. Even the thinnest mil of contractor bags are much thicker and more durable than regular trash bags. For comparison, the average 13 gallon kitchen garbage bag is between 0.7 and 0.9 mil.
Another thing to look for is how the bags close. Some carpenter trash bags come with flaps that tie; others come with twist ties. A few have drawstring straps, but they are rare on carpenter bags because they generally aren’t strong enough to carry the load.
