Basic 18 Gallon Compactor Bags 50 Count 2 Mil

18-Gallon Compactor Bags — 50-Pack

These 18-gallon compactor bags come in a 50-count pack and are built for built-in kitchen trash compactors in both commercial and residential settings. The opaque plastic construction handles kitchen waste, recyclables and general household or business refuse. They replace the former AmazonCommercial line under the Amazon Basics brand. Packaging may vary while the product remains the same.

2 Mil Thickness — Tear and Puncture Resistance

Each bag uses 2.0 mil plastic that resists tears and punctures during compaction cycles. This thickness is the single specification that determines whether the bag will hold up inside a standard 18-gallon compactor without splitting. Thinner films can rupture under compression; thicker films may not feed correctly in some units.

Drawstring Closure — Simple Removal and Disposal

A drawstring closure lets you cinch the bag tight and lift it out of the compactor without spilling compacted debris. The most common issue is overfilling beyond the 18-gallon rating, which can prevent the drawstring from gathering cleanly and cause the bag to tear during removal. Ensure the compactor cycle finishes before pulling the bag.
