3. Operating Instructions
These bags are designed for daily household and kitchen use. Fill the bag with waste, ensuring not to overfill beyond the top edge of the trash can to allow for proper closure.
3.1 Tying and Carrying
Once the bag is full, pull the integrated drawstrings upwards to cinch the bag closed. Tie the drawstrings securely to prevent spills and contain odors. The strong drawstrings facilitate easy lifting and carrying for disposal.

4. Maintenance
EKO trash bags require minimal maintenance. Store unused bags in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve their material integrity.
4.1 Disposal
Dispose of filled trash bags according to local waste management regulations. The bags are made from plastic and should be handled as general waste unless local recycling programs specify otherwise for this type of material.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Bag Tearing or Punctures
- Overfilling: Avoid overfilling the bag, especially with heavy or sharp objects. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly.
- Sharp Objects: Exercise caution when disposing of items with sharp edges. Wrap sharp items in paper or other protective material before placing them in the bag.
- Incorrect Size: Ensure you are using the correct bag size (Code A, 1.6 Gallon) for your trash can to prevent stretching and tearing.
5.2 Bag Slipping into the Bin
- Secure Placement: Always fold the top edge of the bag over the rim of the trash can. The drawstring should rest securely on the outside of the rim.
- Compatible Bin: These bags are designed to fit EKO trash cans and other bins ranging from 0.8 to 1.6 gallons. Using them in larger bins may result in an insecure fit.
