I would check on your council’s website as ours you have to double bag any animal waste anywaykimwp said:
Thank you @teaselMay, it's a good idea, but it's doubling up on plastic, which is what I'm doing now and trying to reduce.teaselMay said:If they're too small to tie, it may be least messy to have a big bag in the top of the bin and put untied bags into the big bag and then tie that - you could tie it loosely each day.0 -
I don't think normal plastic bags are suitable for use in a heat sealer. They would probably melt along the sealing line as the plastic is too thin and the wrong type.Emmia said:
What about a heat sealer without a vacuum?kimwp said:
