Can Liners and Trash Bags for Facilities
Can liners and trash bags for facility waste collection - low-density LLDPE liners rated by mil for sharp and heavy loads, high-density HDPE liners rated by micron for paper and restroom waste, plus color-coded, printed, contractor and drum liners. Available in coreless roll and flat-pack formats sized from 7-gallon wastebaskets through 60-gallon rollout carts and docks. Color-coded options support waste-segregation and recycling programs across hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, clinics and laboratories. Wholesale case pricing for high-volume facility procurement and licensed distributors.

Can Liners and Trash Bags for Facility Waste Collection
Can liners and trash bags are a continuous-consumption line across every facility, sized to the receptacles in restrooms, patient rooms, utility areas and loading docks. This category stocks low-density and high-density liners rated by gallon capacity, gauge or micron thickness, and color, so environmental services can match a liner to each container and to any waste-segregation protocol in place.
Can Liner Types Stocked
- Low-density (LLDPE) liners - Stretch-resistant liners for waste with sharp or irregular edges, rated by mil thickness. Common in maintenance, dock and general trash use.
- High-density (HDPE) liners - Thin, high-tensile liners rated in microns for paper, restroom and non-sharp waste, offering more liners per case by volume.
- Color-coded and printed liners - Clear, black and colored liners for waste segregation and recycling streams, plus printed liners where a facility labels streams.
- Heavy-duty contractor and drum liners - Thick liners for construction debris, bulk collection and 55-gallon drums.
- Coreless roll and flat-pack formats - Coreless rolls for dispenser boxes and flat-pack cases for cart loading.
Can Liner Sizing Reference
| Receptacle | Typical Capacity | Common Type |
|---|---|---|
| Restroom / wastebasket | 7 to 10 gallon | High-density, coreless roll |
| Patient room / office | 12 to 16 gallon | Low or high-density |
| Round / step can | 20 to 30 gallon | Low-density |
| Square / slim-jim | 23 gallon | Low or high-density |
| Rollout / dock cart | 40 to 60 gallon | Low-density, heavy gauge |
Gauge, Micron and Waste Segregation
Liner thickness is stated as mil for low-density liners and micron for high-density liners - the two scales are not interchangeable. Low-density gauge affects puncture and tear resistance for sharp or heavy loads, while high-density micron rating affects tensile strength for paper and light waste. Color-coded liners support facility segregation programs that separate general waste, recycling and regulated streams. Regulated medical waste liners are listed under the appropriate compliance category rather than general can liners.
Can liners are among the most predictable high-volume consumables a facility buys, which is why materials management sets par levels by receptacle size and automates reorders through standing orders. Matching gauge and gallon rating to each container controls both cost per liner and the frequency of over-pull. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between low-density and high-density can liners?
Low-density liners are made from LLDPE and rated in mil thickness. They stretch and resist puncture, which suits waste with sharp or irregular edges in maintenance, dock and general trash use. High-density liners are made from HDPE and rated in microns. They are thinner and higher in tensile strength, which suits paper, restroom and non-sharp waste and yields more liners per case. The two thickness scales, mil and micron, are not interchangeable.
How are can liners sized to a receptacle?
Liners are sized by gallon capacity and by flat width and length so the liner fits the container without excess overhang or under-pull. Restroom cans typically use 7 to 10 gallon high-density liners, patient-room and office cans use 12 to 16 gallon liners, round and step cans use 20 to 30 gallon liners, and rollout or dock carts use 40 to 60 gallon heavy-gauge liners. Matching size to receptacle controls cost per liner.
Are color-coded liners available for waste segregation?
Yes. Can liners are stocked in clear, black and colored formats, plus printed liners, to support facility segregation programs that separate general waste, recycling and other streams. Regulated medical waste liners are listed under the appropriate compliance category rather than with general can liners, so buyers select the correct liner for each stream.
Can facilities order can liners and trash bags in bulk?
Yes. Can liners and trash bags are stocked in case and pallet quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, clinics, laboratories and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-volume liner sizes across restroom, patient-room and dock receptacles. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What can liner sizes should be in a facility formulary?
A standardized can liner formulary, or approved product list, typically covers a 7 to 10 gallon high-density liner for restrooms, a 12 to 16 gallon liner for patient rooms and offices, a 20 to 30 gallon low-density liner for round and step cans, a 23 gallon slim-can liner, and a 40 to 60 gallon heavy-gauge liner for rollout carts and docks, plus color-coded liners for any segregation program.
