How to use the Grab Bag System

Using the Grab Bag System makes it faster and easier to bag, empty and maintain trash and recycling receptacles at your business. And using the system is simple:

  1. Remove the receptacle lid
  2. Place trash bag inside the receptacle or liner and drape over the top
  3. Push the sides of the trash bag into the Grab Bag slots on both sides
  4. Secure the bag fully by grabbing the trash bag and pulling it tight from the inside
  5. Replace the lid

3 Benefits of the Grab Bag System:

Choosing a trash or recycling receptacle that includes our patented Grab Bag System is better for your business’s aesthetic and efficiency. Our Avante™ Series, PolyTec™ Series and Precision Series® receptacles include the Grab Bag System and can benefit your business in several ways.

  1. Improves Site Appearance

The Grab Bag System can help foster a clean, attractive site experience for customers and visitors. When installed correctly, the system keeps the edges of trash bags completely out of site for a neat appearance. This also prevents trash bags from flapping in the wind and creating unnecessary noise. Looking to improve site appearance further? Personalize your receptacles with personalized panels or decals to amplify your brand.

  1. Simplifies Bag Changes

Once the Grab Bag System is engaged, it will hold the bag in place until it is disengaged for a bag change. To do this, gently pull bag from both slots to loosen and pull the bag straight out. It’s that easy! By streamlining bag changes, stores can increase maintenance efficiencies for labor savings.

  1. Less Maintenance Required

There’s nothing worse than a spilled trash bag within the receptacle. Not only does this require workers to manually rebag discarded items but requires a thorough cleaning to prevent odors and pests as well. By using the Grab Bag System, businesses can eliminate bag spillage and drastically reduce the amount of deep cleaning and maintenance required. This saves employees time to instead tidy up shelves, wipe down surfaces, restock items or assist in-store customers.
