will investigate more.. What do you use and recommend?

    Just go around the neighbour's bins on bin night, empty their bags back into their wheelie bin, take home and wash out.

    For tiny bathroom bins I use doggy walking poo bags - super cheap from Kmart, etc. Can even get free from council mounted posts at parks, etc. if you're that way inclined. (Please don't).

      I just reuse the plastic vege bags from colesworth.

    Most people i know used to use the plastic bags we got at supermarkets for shopping and then garbage afterwards. Now we have to pay for paper bags that are practically useless and then separately have to go out and buy plastic bags for our bins.

    Funny that the supermarkets themselves never lose out. lol

      Shop online and then reuse the mailing satchels for rubbish bags.

      I'm not defending the supermarkets but that's more to do with the Government.

      • bobbified on 08/05/2024 - 10:45

        There should at least be another suitable option before they decide to ban something. Just look at the shitty 'wooden" cutlery packs that they hand out with takeaway food. The spoon is literally a flat paddle and the fork has rounded points - absolutely useless!

        • JimB on 08/05/2024 - 11:18

          I somewhat agree but am glad they got rid of the plastic cutlery.

          The worst are the KFC spoons.. they are tiny.

    I reuse fruit bags, bread bags, parcel satchels, toilet paper packaging… etcetera.

    • ilove on 08/05/2024 - 05:24

      good idea.

  • apsilon on 08/05/2024 - 06:30

    I haven't looked for a while as I haven't needed to but if you're willing to buy in bulk you can still get the old style shopping bags from wholesalers as they're still used by take aways and some restaurants. Last lot I bought was 4.5 cents per bag which was cheaper than any retail product I could find at the time. I only use 2 a week typically (supplemented by fruit bags and other bags I end up with along the way) so it's a few years supply for me.

    • ilove on 08/05/2024 - 06:32

      where from? amazon?

      • Chiyoko on 08/05/2024 - 09:05

        I just know the plastic bags need to be more than 35 micron thick.

        They are razor thin in my opinion but appear to be more expensive than buying a garbage bag due to the need to comply with the regulation…

        You can try find listings for 36 micron plastic bags on Google.

        • Gdsamp on 08/05/2024 - 13:16

          need to be more than 35 micron thick

          hwhat so they take longer to break down

      • apsilon on 08/05/2024 - 10:22

        I buy them from one of our packaging suppliers but you should find similar on ebay or you can look up suppliers local to you.

  • JimB on 08/05/2024 - 09:57

    I should ask about the composable bin liners… regular plastic bin liners are cheap compared to it.

    You can't store them too long either, they start to break apart after a year or so lol

  • dtc on 08/05/2024 - 11:32

    Why do you need a bag? Have a bin, wash it out 1 or 2 times per week.

    • CrispyChrispy on 08/05/2024 - 11:46

      I find it easier to gather all the bin bags in the house Monday night and chuck them in the red bin all at once. Saves the need for having to wash out our bins (both the inside and outsides ones) and having to bring all them outside to empty them. How do you do it?

      • dtc on 08/05/2024 - 14:53

        I carry my plastic kitchen bin outside and empty it into the red bin, then wash my inside bin. Once a week. Sure having a bag 'saves the need to wash a bin' but its literally 30 seconds of work once a week and means you dont buy bags and have the issues of this thread

        I dont wash our outside bin

        I only have 2 bins in the house - kitchen bin and bathroom bin (which is a small shin high bin and only needs emptying every 2 to 3 weeks). 4 people household (2 teens + 2 adults)

        I do have a compost pile so limited perishable food. Also have recycling containers.

    I’ve tried the grunt and the glitz liners from Bunnings and they’re thin and tear easy.

    • jm7 on 10/05/2024 - 06:51

      Agree. Bad quality and dont fit my 50l bin
