Ideally, you should have about three to fourinches of overhang on the trash receptacles.Anything more or less is wasteful of bothtime and money.
The following are some guidelines to usewhen choosing the right size can liner.
A. The gallon capacity or the size isusually printed on the container.
B. Use the product specification chartsor the “Measuring for Correct CanLiner Size” formulas in the PittPlastics catalog to determine thecorrect size.
Here is where you may need to do a littlecalculating. You need to determine theweight of a full can liner in your environ-ment.
Once you have decided on that number,check the product grid in the Pitt Plasticscatalog under the can liner type and sizethat you have determined in the first twosteps. Go across the grid to the columnmarked “Max Load.” Find the numberclosest to the average weight figure thatyou came up with, and bingo!, that’s thecan liner you need.
Determine theproper can linertype for yourapplication.
What sizecontainer doesthe liner need tofit?
How muchdoes the linerneed to hold?
There are two types of resins commonlyused in the manufacture of can liners: Lin-ear Low and High Density. To decide whichone you need, answer this question: “Aresharp objects being thrown away?”
If yes, you need Linear Low.If no, you need High Density.
Now that you have decided which resintype is for you, you’ve eliminated half theproducts in the brochure. Next we’ll nar-row it down even further.
1 2 33 Steps to Choosing the Correct Can LinerThe range of sizes, weights, and types of can liners is nearly overwhelming. How do you figure out which can liner you need? The confusion over thevariety of products is understandable, but it’s not insurmountable. We have developed a 3-step method that makes shopping for can liners easy.

NOVAPLUS/Pitt Plastics Can Liners
offer savings, quality and efficiency.
Pitt•Fit is a product offering from Pitt
Plastics that takes a closer look at the
most common and popular trash re-
ceptacles and provides the perfect can
liner for each.With Pitt•Fit, there is no
guesswork; you get the bag you need
for the receptacle you have. This means
savings in money, time and plastic! At
right are examples of just how much
you can save with Pitt•Fit.
So just how much savings can youexpect when you go Pitt•Fit?
44 BruteBased on the same price/lb and gauge,here are the savings on a 44 Brute.
We recommend a 37 x 50 to do the job,but sometimes the popular 38 x 58 isused.
From a source reduction perspective, thisalso represents a major savings. In thiscase if you purchase 100 cases per month,220 lbs of plastic is saved.
By utilizing a 37 x 50for this container youcan save 19%
By utilizing a 29 x 45instead of a 40 x 46,you can save 40.8%
and by using a29 x 45 instead of a38 x 58, you can save 68.7%
Slim JimOur Pitt•Fit size is the 29 x 45.
Other sizes that tend to find their way intoa Slim Jim include the 40 x 46 and the38 x 58.
Once again, when based on the sameprice/lb and gauge, using a Pitt•Fit29 x 45, here are the savings:
This is also a major reduction in plastic. Byusing the 29 x 45 over the 40 x 46, you’dsee a savings of 333 lbs per 100 cases amonth, and 563 lbs per 100 cases versusthe 38 x 58.Savings in money and plastic
that can’t be ignored
