Refuse-On-Roll
18x28x34 – 20mu H.T “STRONG” Refuse Sacks (On a Roll)
These heavy-duty “STRONG” refuse sacks on a roll are designed for everyday waste handling where you need a dependable liner that’s easy to dispense, quick to open, and consistent from sack to sack. Supplied in a convenient roll format, they’re ideal for janitorial teams, facilities management, hospitality back-of-house, and busy workplaces that want fast access to sacks without storing bulky loose stacks.
The specification for this listing is 18x28x34 with a 20 micron (20mu) thickness and a high-tensile (H.T) construction. In practical terms, that combination is intended to provide a good balance of strength and handling performance for general refuse, helping reduce split bags during lifting, tying, and transport to external bins.
Key Features
On-a-roll convenience:
Roll dispensing keeps sacks tidy, reduces storage space, and makes it easier for staff to grab the next sack quickly—especially useful on cleaning trolleys and in cupboards.
20mu thickness:
A 20 micron film is commonly used for light-to-medium duty refuse applications. It offers a practical balance between material use and performance for routine waste streams.
High-tensile (H.T) film:
High-tensile film is engineered to improve strength characteristics compared with standard film at similar thickness, supporting better resistance to tearing during handling.
“STRONG” grade positioning:
Marked as “STRONG” to indicate suitability for more demanding day-to-day use where a basic liner may be prone to failure.
Consistent, repeatable dispensing:
Roll format helps maintain consistent workflow—ideal for multi-shift environments where different staff members need the same product performance.

18x28x34 – 20mu H.T “STRONG” Refuse Sacks — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right refuse sack is about more than just “will it fit the bin?”. The right combination of size, film type, and thickness helps reduce bag failures, improves hygiene, and keeps waste handling efficient. This guide explains what the specification on this listing means and how to decide if it’s the right option for your site.
How It Works
These sacks are supplied on a roll, allowing you to dispense one sack at a time. This format is particularly useful where sacks are issued from a central point (stores, cleaning cupboard) or carried on a trolley. It can also help reduce overuse because staff take what they need rather than grabbing handfuls of loose sacks.
Once opened, the sack is placed into a bin or used as a free-standing liner depending on your process. After filling, it can be tied and transported to your waste collection point. The “STRONG” positioning and high-tensile film are intended to support reliable handling during these steps.
Materials and Construction
This product is specified as H.T (high tensile) with a 20mu thickness. High-tensile films are designed to deliver improved strength characteristics at a given thickness, helping the sack cope with typical handling stresses such as lifting, dragging short distances, and tying.
Micron (mu) thickness is a common way to describe film thickness. A 20 micron sack is often chosen for general refuse where the waste is not excessively heavy or sharp. If your waste stream includes sharp edges (broken packaging, metal offcuts, glass, or jagged plastics), you may need a heavier-duty option.
Size and Fit Guidance
The size for this listing is shown as 18x28x34. Refuse sack sizing can be presented in different formats depending on supplier conventions (for example, width x gusset x length, or other folded measurements). The most reliable approach is to compare the listed size against your current sack specification or trial a small quantity to confirm fit and performance in your bins.
Tip: If you’re switching from a similar sack that is listed as 18x29x34 or 18x28x33, this product may be close in fit, but always confirm against your bin dimensions and how full the sacks are typically filled.
Floor Type Compatibility
Refuse sacks are used across many environments and floor types. For best results:
- On smooth floors (vinyl, sealed concrete, tiles), avoid dragging filled sacks long distances—use a trolley to reduce abrasion.
- On rough surfaces (unfinished concrete, outdoor yards), abrasion risk increases; consider using a trolley or selecting a heavier-duty sack if dragging is unavoidable.
- In wet areas, ensure waste is drained where possible to reduce liquid weight and stress on the film.
Health and Safety
- Manual handling: Avoid overfilling. Even a strong sack can fail if overloaded, and heavy loads increase injury risk.
- Sharp waste: Wrap or box sharp items before disposal where possible. Sharp edges are a common cause of punctures.
- Hygiene: Use appropriate PPE for your waste stream (gloves as a minimum in most commercial settings).
- Spill prevention: Tie securely and transport in a suitable container or trolley to reduce leakage risk.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
These 20mu high-tensile refuse sacks are typically chosen where you want a dependable everyday sack without moving to very heavy gauges. They suit:
- General mixed waste from offices and communal areas
- Light packaging waste (soft plastics, paper, disposable items)
- Regular bin changes where speed and consistency matter
- Sites that prefer roll dispensing for stock control and convenience
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Refuse sacks themselves don’t require maintenance, but good storage and handling improves performance:
- Store dry and away from heat: Keep rolls away from direct sunlight and heaters to avoid film degradation.
- Avoid crushing: Don’t store heavy items on top of rolls; deformation can make dispensing harder.
- Use the right bin: Bins with sharp rims or damaged edges can cut sacks—repair or replace where needed.
- Train staff: Simple guidance on not overfilling and avoiding sharp waste can significantly reduce splits.
Case Study (Typical Scenario)
Scenario: A contract cleaning team services a multi-floor office building. They need a sack that can be carried on a trolley, dispensed quickly, and withstand routine waste handling without frequent splits.
Approach: Switching to refuse sacks on a roll helps keep stock tidy on the trolley and reduces time spent restocking. The 20mu high-tensile “STRONG” specification supports day-to-day use for general office waste.
Outcome: Faster bin changes, fewer interruptions caused by torn sacks, and more consistent stock control across shifts.
Who Is It For?
- Facilities managers looking for a reliable everyday refuse sack
