Figuring out how many trash bags to buy at once for your business seems like a simple enough task, but all too often business owners go about it the wrong way. And getting it wrong repeatedly can lead to an immense source of waste and inefficiencies.

Start Determining How Many Trash Bags to Buy at Once Based on Insight
On average, how many trash bags do you use per week? Per month? It may seem trivial, but when you look at the big picture, you’d be surprised how much you spend yearly on can liners. No matter how decentralized your expenses are, it’s important to consider all options on the table when it comes to cutting costs and creating savings.
Strategically buying can liners in bulk allows you to be more conscious about how many you are using regularly and allows you to put the money you don’t spend into other parts of your business that need attention.
Reduce Costs By Buying In Bulk
The most obvious reason for buying can liners in bulk is to save money on the per-unit costs. Not only that, but you also end up saving money on overall shipping and fuel costs that play a big factor when you buy can liners one at a time. When you mathematically compare buying in bulk compared to buying single units, the difference is obvious. In the end, purchasing can liners in bulk can lower your per-unit cost; while buying in smaller quantities means you will pay more per trash bag, pay more in delivery costs, and potentially incur other costs.
Strategically Purchasing Can Liners Can Have Environmental Impacts
The great thing about buying can liners in bulk is that there is less plastic waste used in the packaging and there is a reduction in overall delivery miles attached to each unit. If you are concerned about the environment and already have a green initiative in place, this is a perfect component to add to your already existing green plan. Of course, no green initiative is truly complete without a stretch film recycling program.
