The liter rating measures volume, but the bag fits the bin by width. So check both numbers.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1. Measure your bin<\/h2>\n<p>You need two numbers: the circumference of the top rim and the height. The bag&#8217;s width should be a bit more than half the circumference, and its length should equal the bin&#8217;s height plus 15\u201320 cm for folding over the edge and tying.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2. Check the standard sizes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Office bin, bathroom \u2014 45\u00d755 or 50\u00d760 cm (up to 35 L).<\/li>\n<li>Kitchen bin \u2014 55\u00d760 or 60\u00d770 cm (35\u201360 L).<\/li>\n<li>Large bin, caf\u00e9 container \u2014 65\u00d780 or 70\u00d790 cm (60\u2013120 L).<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor and warehouse containers \u2014 80\u00d7110, 90\u00d7110 cm and up (120\u2013240 L).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 3. Choose the thickness<\/h2>\n<p>Standard bags are fine for paper and light household waste. For food waste, glass, and construction debris, go with heavy-duty bags \u2014 they&#8217;re thicker and won&#8217;t tear on sharp edges.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure which size fits?
