Garbage bags in Swiss waste management

In Switzerland, the disposal of garbage is clearly regulated. The bag fee varies depending on the municipality and cantonal regulations. Anyone who wants to dispose of waste correctly needs the right bag. A sturdy garbage bag protects against odors and leaks, ensuring clean and safe disposal.

Product overview: Garbage bags in the Heros Hygiene online shop

In the Heros Hygiene shop you will find garbage bags for all applications. Sizes range from 17 to 240 liters. For households, the 35-liter bags or the 110l Hercules garbage bags are particularly popular. For larger volumes, such as in businesses, the 360-liter drum garbage bags are suitable. Our bags are tear-resistant, hygienic, and compatible with standard containers. 

What must not go into the garbage bag

No recyclables or hazardous waste belong in the garbage bag. PET bottles, glass, paper, aluminum, organic waste, or batteries must be disposed of separately. Used oil, paints, chemicals, or electrical devices must also not go into the bag. For these materials, there are collection points or separate return systems in Switzerland.

What belongs in the garbage bag

The garbage bag is intended for waste that cannot be recycled. This includes soiled packaging, diapers, vacuum cleaner bags, used tissues, or cat litter. Broken household items or cooled ashes may also be disposed of in it. It is important not to overfill the bag and to close it securely.

Multi-purpose bags and alternatives

For many uses, simple multi-purpose bags are sufficient. These are usually transparent or white and inexpensive. They are suitable for kitchen waste, used paper towels, and light, non-sharp waste or workshop residues. Especially in commercial settings or for internal disposal, they are a useful addition.

Proper storage and handling

Garbage bags should be stored in a dry place and not overfilled. Sharp or wet waste should preferably be packed separately. A suitable waste bin with a lid prevents odors and protects against vermin. For disposal, the rule is: close the bag, place it in the official collection container, and do not leave it next to it.
