Is there a special trick to make it easier to put trash bags on my trash can? It keeps slipping off as I put?

Question

it on.

When i get it almost stuck into place, it slips off a corner. Then i put it back on that corner, and it slips off the other corner.

Once it's on, it's good because i want it to be tight. Not to mention, i bought 1000 of these things, and i don't want to throw them away !

A similar situation existed with my d**n fitted sheets for my mattress, but i won't go into the embarrassing details on how i fixed that problem.

Please help me before something gets smashed and i hurt myself and disturb the peace.

Answer 1

OMG!  I just dealt with this yesterday!  Here's what I learned:  

Start with one side, get it snug- lock it with one handle; Run both hands along the edge in opposite directions, pulling the bag over the can as you go.  Be quick but not too quick.

Ta-Da! The handle lock is the trick...if that doesn't work, then you have the wrong size trash bags.

Answer 2

what i do is when i put the garbage bag on i tie a knot on the side so it won't slip down when you throw trash in it

Answer 3

good question, maybe when you are done the 1000 try another brand similar size, or try stretching the bag a little bit just to get it on.

I had a pain in the butt garbage can but once I finished the bags, I got bigger ones that are a little big, but the frustration is gone!!!

Answer 4

Use a clip or a clamp to hold the opposite side in place while you wrap it around the front side.

Answer 5

I bought a garbage can band, I think that I found one at the dollar store, but try home depot or lowes, or wallmart of someplace, not every dollar store has the same thing.  Mine looked like a very large pony tail holder...
