Trash Can bag keeper

Saw this at the Napa store and thought it was a great idea. I'm sure others have seen this but thought I would share.

Using heater hose cut long ways, hose is used to keep the bag in place.

Bicycle inner tube as a rubber band around the can would be cheaper.

Great idea! Thanks!

I've been using a bungee cord, but I like this idea better!

 

[Rewind97]

Great ideas!!! I'll use one of them for sure!!!

I got a bunch of big rubber bands a long time ago for this purpose, but I bet the heater hose will last longer.

Seriously? How is it cheaper than free?
I think the idea is that one already has some spare or used heater hose lying around.

I wonder if garden hose would work? May not have the "clamping" strength of heater hose.

the band that protects a tube from the spoke ******* on a motorcycle spoked wheel works great also

They used to do the heater hose thing when I worked at the Exxon gas stations. The nice thing about it if you have people that tend to throw things into the can from any distance it protects the bag from pinch cuts against the edge of the can. No holes to leak when you pull it out. Inner tube and spoke bands work good too.

The absolute cheapest method is to do what every custodian does- tie a knot with the excess plastic bag...

X2 on bungee cord.

But I'm using a Rubbermaid trash can so the heater hose wouldn't work.

I use a tarp strap with a length of light chain to adjust the tension....

Same with an bicycle tube. But if you don't the tube would be cheaper, not a cheap as the bungee though.

I like the idea, would work good assuming the hose is a bit flexible and the garbage can is round. I noticed at my local park, the 'square w/ slightly rounded corners' cans,, they glued a few pieces of 3/4 pvc pipe into the shape of the inner lip, and that held the bag up (from the inside of the can) so the lid could still close.

4 binder clips works well also

Set of junk booster cable clamps, with cables attached, like you found in every used /junk/parts car you ever got.

I'm a janitor who works with the big plastic trashcans. I use 40" bungee cords. I tie knots in the cords till the tension is just right. Paid $.96 each for them on sale. off and on quickly. Try taking the heater hose off and on. see how easy or difficult it is.
