Title: Stashing bags.
Description: Putting bags in bottom of dry trash cans

Throw a pile of trash bags in the bottom of dry trash cans throughout your cleaning area so if you run out of bags you have them close at hand without going back to closet. Or throw them in the bottom of one of your brute cans on your cart.

This only works if everyone makes sure they tighten the bag to the can. I have dumped a can or two and they can all fall out because of the weight and then your picking bags out of the garbage. :lightbulb:

We usually got bags that would come in rolls. I would put a couple of the large size in the bottom of my rolling can with the end of one roll hanging out the top as well as the smaller trash can size.

Then I could pull out bags to re-line as I'd go. We had the attachable storage cup hanging off the rolling can, but this usually ended up a catch-all container when supossed to be for a roll of can liners. Mine would end up with gloves, door stops, small note pad, pencil, squeegie...

In the bottom of my can I would also store a spare dust mop head and a couple of soaps (dispenser boxes)

We would tie off full trash and pull the full bags out and then put into large rolling tote. When this got full we would push to the loading dock-dumpster.

BTW, Punching a hole about 3 inches down from the top when putting a new liner in the rolling trash can eliminated the suction for when taking full garbage bags out. We would used a thumb or handy box knife to slash a small hole.

Kitchen garbage- this stuff will be heavy. To save your back don't fill these completey full, but do smaller loads. I had even (with gloves) pulled out stuff and divided into other bags to make sure not too heavy. :trashshake:
