Opaque and dark, so the contents are not on show in busy or public-facing areas.
Black trash bags
Black bags hide what is inside, and are the most common colour for general waste in estates, catering, offices and construction. Size, thickness, colour and printed logos are all made to order.
About
Why black
The main job of a black bag is concealment — waste cannot be seen from outside, so bags left on back staircases, in bin rooms or at the rear of a mall still look tidy.
The standard colour
Black is the usual colour for general waste, and is what most frontline staff and cleaning contractors already work to.
Hides marks
Dark surfaces show stains less, so bags keep a presentable look in bin rooms and back-of-house areas.
Common uses
