Extra Heavy Duty Black Refuse Sacks
Extra Heavy Duty Black Refuse Sacks provide strong containment for heavier everyday general waste. They are intended for demanding collection points in warehouses, shops, hospitality premises and commercial buildings, where the bag needs to cope with the refuse generated throughout a busy working day.
The black polythene conceals the contents, giving waste collection points a tidier appearance. The flexible sack format works with regular bin-emptying rounds, allowing refuse to be gathered, closed and moved to the designated collection area.
Independently Drop Tested to 18kg
These sacks are independently drop tested with an 18kg load from a height of one metre. That stated test gives buyers a concrete performance specification for the extra heavy duty grade and helps identify its place in a professional waste collection programme.
The rating is particularly relevant to premises where general refuse is heavier than ordinary paper-bin waste. It describes the sack's performance under test conditions; the weight, shape and distribution of actual waste remain part of normal handling practice.
Strong Black Sacks for Busy Collection Points
Extra heavy duty polythene provides a practical bag for the mixed refuse produced across commercial premises. It suits collection points in back-of-house areas and service spaces, where waste is gathered throughout the day before moving to a central storage point.
The opaque finish keeps discarded materials out of view, which is useful along collection routes passing through shared areas. The sack can remain closed during transfer, keeping the refuse together until it reaches the designated disposal point.
They are part of our black refuse sack range, which also includes the 12kg heavy duty grade. Our bin bags and liners selection covers waste collection throughout the premises.

Directions for Use
Open the sack and fit it into the bin or holder with the base supported. Distribute suitable general waste evenly and leave room to close the top. Keep sharp objects, hot waste and free liquids in separate suitable containers. Close the sack before removal and use appropriate handling equipment or assistance for heavy loads. Transfer it to the collection area without dragging it across the ground.
FAQs
What does the 18kg drop-test rating mean?
The sack has been independently tested with an 18kg load dropped from one metre. This is its stated performance under the test conditions and identifies the extra heavy duty grade.
What are these refuse sacks made from?
They are made from extra heavy duty polythene. This provides a strong, flexible bag for the heavier everyday general refuse collected in commercial premises.
Why choose the black finish?
Black sacks conceal discarded contents during filling and transfer. This is useful in shared service areas and wherever closed general-waste bags are stored before collection.
Which businesses are these sacks suited to?
They suit warehouses, retail premises, hotels, hospitality businesses and facilities-management teams. Their intended role is heavier everyday general-waste collection in commercial environments.
Can they be used for bulky packaging?
They are suitable for bulky packaging entering the designated general-waste stream. Materials allocated to separate recycling collections should remain in those streams.
Are these sacks intended for regular cleaning rounds?
Yes. They provide an extra heavy duty option for routine bin emptying and transfer to a central collection point, particularly where a stronger general-refuse bag is useful.
