I use these on our office trash cans. I try to watch the expenditures here just as I do at home. Our trash consists of paper. I do not like to change the liners each time we empty our trash into a large bag to be disposed of and with these bands the liners stay in place when emptied.
I have some large files. I had been tying string around them to keep everything inside the files. These large rubber bands are just what I needed and they work great.
