- Place in Trash Can: Insert the bag into your trash can, ensuring the top edge of the bag, including the drawstring, is folded over the rim of the can. This ensures a secure fit and prevents the bag from slipping. These bags are designed for EKO brand trash cans (Code G) but fit most standard 13.2 to 23.8 Gallon (50L-90L) cans.

- Removing a Full Bag: Once the bag is full, lift the drawstring handles from the sides of the trash can. Pull the drawstrings to close the bag securely.

Maintenance
While the trash bags themselves are disposable, proper maintenance of your trash can is recommended to ensure hygiene and prolong its life.
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the interior and exterior of your trash can with a mild detergent and water.
- Odor Control: If your EKO trash can includes a deodorizer compartment, ensure the filter is replaced as recommended by the trash can manufacturer to maintain freshness.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common concerns:
- Bag Tearing: EKO bags are extra-strong. If tearing occurs, check for sharp edges inside your trash can or ensure the bag is not overfilled beyond its capacity.
- Bag Slipping into Can: Ensure the drawstring rim is fully folded over the edge of your trash can. For EKO brand cans, ensure the bag type (Code G) matches the recommended size for your specific model.
- Unpleasant Odors: These bags are unscented. For odor control, consider using an EKO trash can with a built-in deodorizer or adding baking soda to the bottom of the bag.
