Bin Liners for Kitchen, Compost and General Waste

The right bin liner helps keep your bin clean, manages odour, and makes disposal quick and easy. Whether you’re lining a small compost caddy, a bathroom bin, or a family-sized kitchen bin, we offer liners in a range of sizes, materials and strengths.

How to Choose the Right Bin Liner for Your Kitchen

1. Know Your Waste Type

  • Light-duty: Great for dry waste like paper and tissues
  • Medium-duty: Suited to everyday kitchen waste
  • Heavy-duty: Ideal for food scraps, wet rubbish, or sharp items
  • Compostable: Perfect for food waste and green bins

2. Match Your Bin Size

Measure your bin’s height and width, then choose a liner with a bit of extra length to allow for overhang and tying. Our bin liners are labelled by litre size for an easy match.

3. Pick the Right Material

  • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Thin, light, and economical for dry waste
  • LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): More durable for wet or heavy waste
  • Compostable: Certified to break down in home or industrial compost systems

Check the thickness too, thicker liners (30µm+) hold more weight without tearing.

4. Sustainability Matters

Choose:

  • Compostable liners made from cornstarch or sugarcane
  • Recycled plastic liners to reduce landfill
  • Plant-based plastics for a lower-impact option

Always check your local council guidelines for correct disposal.

5. Useful Features

  • Scented liners help mask kitchen odours
  • Clear liners make waste checks easier
  • Opaque liners are great for privacy in shared bins

Frequently Asked Questions

What size bin liner do I need?

Match the liner to your bin’s capacity in litres. Allow for extra length so it fits over the rim and ties easily.

Are compostable bin liners suitable for food waste?

Yes, compostable liners are a convenient option for collecting food scraps, especially in the kitchen. Just make sure they meet Australian standards like AS5810 for home composting or AS4736 for commercial systems.

That said, you don’t always need a liner. Many people prefer to go liner-free, especially when using compost bins for kitchen, where scraps are emptied regularly into a garden compost or green waste bin. This allows organic matter to break down more efficiently, without added materials that may take longer to decompose.

If you want to reduce mess without using liners, try a base layer of newspaper or paper towels, both break down easily and help keep your bin clean.

Can I use one liner type for all waste?

You can, but compostable liners are best for food scraps, while stronger liners are better for general rubbish.

Do you stock extra-strong kitchen bin bags?

Yes. We offer a range of heavy-duty and tear-resistant liners in various sizes.

How do I store spare rubbish bin liners?

Keep them close to your bin for easy refills. Rolls or boxed liners are great for cupboard or drawer storage.
