2. Setup

Setting up your Staples Brighton trash bags is straightforward. Follow these steps to prepare them for use:

1. Unpack the Carton: Carefully open the carton containing the 100 trash bags. The bags are folded and stacked for convenient storage and dispensing.
2. Remove a Bag: Gently pull one bag from the dispenser opening in the carton. Ensure you pull only one bag at a time to avoid tearing or entanglement.

3. Operating Instructions

Proper use of the trash bags ensures maximum efficiency and prevents premature tearing or leaks:

1. Place in Receptacle: Insert the unfolded trash bag into a compatible 55-60 gallon trash can. Ensure the top edge of the bag is folded over the rim of the can to secure it in place.
2. Fill with Waste: Begin filling the bag with waste. These low-density bags are particularly suited for sharp, heavy, and wet objects, such as construction debris, glass, and food waste, as they resist punctures.
3. Do Not Overfill: Avoid overfilling the bag beyond its capacity to prevent tearing and to allow for proper closure.
4. Secure Closure: Once full, gather the top edges of the bag and tie them securely. While twist-ties are not included, the bag material allows for a strong knot to be formed.

4. Storage and Care

To maintain the integrity and performance of your Staples Brighton trash bags, follow these storage guidelines:

• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the carton of trash bags in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep Away from Puncturing Objects: Although the bags are durable, avoid storing them near sharp objects that could accidentally puncture the unused bags.
• Original Packaging: It is recommended to keep the bags in their original carton until ready for use to protect them from dust and damage.

5. Troubleshooting

While Staples Brighton trash bags are designed for durability, here are some common issues and their solutions:

• Bag Tearing During Use:
  • Cause: Overfilling the bag, or contents with extremely sharp or abrasive edges.
  • Solution: Ensure the bag is not filled beyond its capacity. For exceptionally sharp items, consider wrapping them before disposal. Remember these are low-density bags, designed to resist punctures from sharp objects.
• Bag Does Not Fit Can Properly:
  • Cause: Using a trash can larger than the recommended 55-60 gallon capacity.
  • Solution: Verify your trash can's capacity. These bags are specifically sized for 55-60 gallon receptacles.
• Bags Stick Together:
  • Cause: Static electricity or storage in humid conditions.
  • Solution: Gently separate the bags. Storing in a cool, dry place can help prevent this.
