PLASTIC BAG BLACK 30"X34", (762X864MM) 65LTR 50'S 174169

Order by packet and by bin size. The bag is sized for a bin of about 65 litres. The larger black bag in the run is 174176 (500 × 400 × 1300 mm), for bigger bins such as the 120 and 240 litre wheelie bins (174130, 174139); measure the bin before choosing. For the small transparent bags, see 174171 to 174175. Marine refuse sacks (174179, 174180) and biodegradable sacks (174189, 174190) are separate codes. If the company needs a minimum film thickness, write it on the requisition, because the code does not fix it.

Order both colours if the garbage management plan separates streams. The IMO guidelines recommend distinctively marked receptacles for each garbage type. They name non-recyclable plastics, rags, recyclables such as glass, cans, paper and plastics, e-waste, and hazardous items such as oily rags, batteries and light bulbs. Black bags for general waste and clear bags for recyclables match the bagging rules at the ports above.^[3][1]

MARPOL Annex V prohibits the discharge of all plastics into the sea, and the IMO guidelines list plastic garbage bags among the garbage whose discharge is prohibited. When plastic is mixed with other garbage, the whole mixture must be treated as plastic. The bag itself never goes overboard: used bags and bagged mixed garbage stay on board for the incinerator, where one is fitted, or for a port reception facility.^[3]

The guidelines say food waste that may carry diseases or pests should be stored in tightly covered containers, apart from other garbage. Quarantine arrangements in some countries may require double bagging of this type of waste, so carry enough bags for it.^[3]
