What if there was a little secret to help keep all the materials in your container plus cut your cleanout time? Well, we can be the little bird that told you there is such a secret鈥攄umpster liners! Dumpster liners can increase efficiency in unloading time, prolong the container鈥檚 life and installing is a breeze. Remember the last time you changed the garbage and put a new bag in? Think of your container as a giant garbage can and it鈥檚 that simple to place the 鈥渂ag鈥� in. These liners can be used as an aide to haul sludge, asbestos, dust, as well as environmental cleaning to make your workday easier. Plus, with no leaks, you will have one less DOT regulation to worry about on your daily commute.
Determining the Right Type of Liner
Now it is time to establish the style of liner that will work the best for your jobs. Some questions need to be asked on determining the proper help for the job, or if a liner would even be suitable. What will this container haul at the jobsite? Is there going to be construction material or aggregates too heavy and sharp for a liner, like cinder blocks, bricks, or scrap steel?听 Will there be any separating of sludge? Is it a special waste that鈥檚 unhealthy to breathe in? Answering these questions will help narrow down the wide range of choices provided to you to get the job done right the first time.
Polyethylene Liners
First, we will start with the polyethylene liner. Polyethylene is the most common plastic and was synthesized on accident back in 1898. When you think of it as a dumpster liner, imagine it similar to a garbage bag material. These liners are form-fitted and come in several sizes and thicknesses to fit your specific needs. Commonly used in the waste industry, polyethylene liners help transport wet or dry waste such as water treatment sludge and encapsulating asbestos demolition loads. This style of liner can also assist in odor control, leak protection and preventing materials from freezing to the sidewalls of the container. A polyethylene liner ensures that containers remain cleaner, the washout costs are lower, and the life of the container is increased.
Woven Coated Polypropylene Liners
Now imagine a bag made out of a feed sack type of material that lets you take the garbage out, pick up the lawn clippings and remove the extra debris around the house. This type of 鈥渂ag鈥� is a woven coated polypropylene liner, which typically uses a unique drawstring design to keep the liner in place and makes an easy install as well. Being used for special wastes like asbestos, these liners reduce some of the risk that the workers would be exposed to by breathing in this material. Typically being provided with one to three loading spouts, these liners can be loaded by a chute system above the container saving labor hours and small packaging costs to the company. Woven coated polypropylene liners are also used to contain odorous materials, metal shavings, grinding dust and powders.
Dewatering Liners
Last one we have left for your decision-making is the dewatering liners. These liners are used to separate solid and liquid phases of sludge. Depending on the requirements of the job at hand, you may choose from several micron options (130, 250, 400, etc.). With the use of a larger micron dewatering liner, bigger solids can be separated at a faster rate. Smaller micron liners filter smaller particles, but take longer to separate the liquids from the solids. When the dewatering is complete, the disposable liner and remaining solids are now ready for disposal which eliminates further solidification costs. These liners can also be used in sludge applications such as industrial, cooling, paint and in settling ponds. The convenience of these liners being readily disposable can make cleaning any ditch, sump or storm drain an easier task.
Regulations
When it comes to complying with all the regulations, there will be too many rules to list in this article but we can touch briefly on some key factors while hauling asbestos material. Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral known as a long, thin fibrous crystal. Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause lung cancer and severe illnesses, so precautions must be taken in handling and hauling this wicked material. According to current EPA regulations, there must be no visible asbestos emissions to the outside air during transportation and must be contained in a leak-tight container. The containers used in hauling this substance must not be contaminated with debris adhering to the outside of the container and be labeled properly prior to transportation. With the aid of a liner, asbestos fibers can be safely moved to the proper facility where they can be immobilized in soil and no longer emit harmful fibers in the air.

Cleaner Containers
If the words dumpster bag or bladder bag come across and catch your eye, do not be startled, the little bird is here to help you again. Different terminology for the same type of product can cause confusion in different markets and territories. Any of these liners will give you cleaner containers, faster dumps and extend your container鈥檚 life with an easy installation. On top of that, why wouldn鈥檛 you want to save money on the washout costs and cutting chances on meeting with some type of authority due to lost material?听 Dumpster liners will give you customizable versatility while being able to haul a variety of materials for adding ease to your workday.
