For windy pickup days, set the bag behind a heavy bin or in a sheltered spot, and tie the drawstring tightly so light paper and cardboard do not blow out before the hauler arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I line a 13-gallon kitchen recycling bin with this bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the bag by shaking it open, then fold the top edge over the rim of the clean bin by about two inches to lock it in place.

The bag is sized for a 13-gallon (49.2 L) bin, which is the most common kitchen recycling bin sold in the United States.

Store the unused roll indoors in a cool, dry place away from direct sun and heat sources, and avoid leaving a loaded bag in extended direct sun, which can soften the film over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a recycling bag and a kitchen trash bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA recycling bag is purpose-built for dry, rinsed recyclables, with a clear film that meets the visibility requirements of most curbside programs and a lighter gauge that matches typical recyclables.
