Double Bag for Sharp or Wet Waste
If you have particularly heavy, wet, or sharp waste, double bag to prevent rips and tears. Simply place your 33 gallon bag inside a second bag for extra protection and strength.
Tie Securely
- Gather the top tightly.
- Tie a firm knot.
- Consider double knotting for heavy loads.
This keeps stinky trash secure inside while carrying and prevents spills.
Lift Properly
When lifting full 33 gallon bags:
- Bend knees to avoid back strain.
- Use legs to lift, not back.
- Hold bag close to body for better leverage.
This technique protects against injury from heavy lifting.
Take Out Frequently
Don't allow trash to pile up. Take loaded bags outside often to prevent odors and clutter inside. This also makes each bag lighter and easier to manage.
Using these tips will extend the life of your Orange 33 gallon bags, make trash simpler to handle, and keep your home cleaner and nicer smelling.

Choose a Dry Storage Area
Select a storage spot that is:
- Indoors to protect from weather

Store Vertically

Use Shelving
Place rolls on shelving units rather than directly on floor. This protects from dirt, water spills and critters.
Categorize by Size

- 33 gallon - bottom shelf
- 16 gallon - middle shelf
- 8 gallon - top shelf
Label Clearly
Use a label maker or permanent marker to identify:
- Bag size
- Mil thickness
- Quantity per box
This allows for quick size selection.
First In, First Out
Rotate stock by placing new boxes behind current ones. This ensures freshness.
Replenish Stock
Shop sales and stock up so you never run out. But don't overbuy more than you can store properly.
With some simple organization, you can easily store many 33 gallon trash bags. Just be sure to allow sufficient air circulation to prevent mold or mildew.

Double Bag
For sharp or heavy disassembled items, place them in a smaller bag inside the 33 gallon bag to prevent tears. Consider taping the smaller bag shut.

Lift Properly
When lifting:
- Stand close to the bag with feet apart for balance.
