Step 1
Measure the trash can. Trash can liners come in many sizes to accommodate the many shapes and sizes of trash cans, but nothing is more annoying than buying a trash can liner that is too short and having it fall into the trash can. Know how tall and how wide your trash can is before choosing a liner for it.

Step 2
Decide on a closing method. Trash can liners typically come with either a drawstring built into the top of the liner or a bundle of twist ties.

Step 3
Consider strength. Many trash can liner manufacturers feature heavy-duty varieties of trash bags made to withstand large trash loads. Heavy- duty liners cost more, but they can be worth the investment if you throw away a materials that could puncture thinner bags. If the trash can you are buying a liner for is in a high-traffic area, such as the kitchen or a workshop, heavy duty bags might better suit your needs.

Step 4
Buy economically. Trash bags come in a variety of package sizes. Buying them in larger boxes can often save money. Do the math before you make your final purchase and buy the trash can liners that offer quality value for the price.

Step 5
Accessorizing is an option. Many trash can liner manufacturers make liners in a variety of colors and fragrances.
