20 Unique Uses for Trash Bags

Garbage day is a weekly struggle in our house. You’d think that these kids had never been asked to gather the garbage in the house, put it in the garbage can for collection, and walk it around to the front yard. Every single time it’s a struggle.

And guess what? We keep making more trash.

I’ve used a lot of trash bags in my day (21+ years of marriage equals a lot of garbage. Ha!) and I’ve come to the conclusion that trash bags are one of those areas that you don’t want to skimp on. I mean, who wants stinky, two-day-old trash falling all over the floor because the bag was too weak to keep it all in?

Hefty can handle our trash. It’s kind of like having WWE Wrestler John Cena handle my garbage instead of my kids…

Hefty Ultra Strong Kitchen Trash Bags are Hefty’s BEST kitchen bag ever (I seriously love these things!) and the fact that they are now at a new low price (that’s even lower than the competitor’s kitchen bags) is a bonus for me.

20 Unique Uses for Trash Bags

Not only are they a great value, but they’ve got Arm & Hammer patented odor neutralizer, Active Tear Resistant Technology for superior strength (no more holes!), and they come with a break resistant grip drawstring.

But garbage bags aren’t only for collecting trash. I don’t know about you, but we use our garbage bags for tons of things around the house!

You’d be amazed at all of the things that you can use trash bags for – especially Hefty Ultra Strong, since they are so durable! Here are just a few ways we’ve used Hefty kitchen bags around the home and on family outings:

  • Hiding birthday and holiday gifts
  • Seat protection in the car for wet and messy passengers
  • Makeshift umbrella
  • 20 Unique Uses for Trash Bags

  • Game seat (stack of newspaper wrapped in a trash bag = padded water-proof stadium or grass seating)
  • Backpack cover for rainy day walks to school
  • Store holiday decorations
  • Dirty shoe covers (for family members who don’t want to take messy shoes off when they come in the house)

What are some other unique uses that you’ve found for trash bags?

PS – Hefty Ultra Strong Kitchen Trash Bags with Arm & Hammer patented odor neutralizer (13 Gallon white indoor bags) come in 7 different scents.

• Clean Burst
• Citrus Twist
• Lavender & Sweet Vanilla
• Crisp Orchard Apple
• White Pine Breeze
• Tropical Paradise
• Pomegranate Mist

My favorite is Citrus Twist (it smells SO clean and fresh!) as well as Scent Free. Which scent would you like in your kitchen (honestly, though, any scent is better than last night’s salmon….)? Amiright?
