The Issue
When a sack splits it's messy in more ways than one. The cleaner or client complains to the management, the management then complains to the supplier (and rightly so).
It creates more work when a sack splits so we find that customers sometimes buy extra thick sacks to safeguard from sacks splitting and causing a whole heap of problems. This can be overkill therefore expensive.
A cleaner's nightmare
It's been a long time coming but there is a simple system out there that provides an honest and consistent way of knowing the strength and capability of a refuse sack with referring to a gauge.
You ask several suppliers for a 160 gauge refuse sack and the chances are each one will vary in quality.
Enough with the gauge system. Its over and out of date!
