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 use these around my trash cans when the bag goes over the edge many times it doesn't stay in place with these rubber bands I slip them just under the lip on the cans and they hold the bags in place.
