Roll Off Dumpster Liners are massive garbage bags for the dumpster. However, the thicknesses, colors, sizes, chemical make-ups, uses, manufacturing techniques, and packaging decide how effective they will be.

The dumpster liner that will best suit you depends on your companies specific needs. There are different dumpster liner requirements for different jobs.

Roll off Dumpster Liners are used daily by concrete, asbestos abatement, and environmental services companies to contain materials which may be hazardous to our health or the environment. In many cases, environmental laws require dumpster liners.

The dumpster liners are easy to use and quick to install.  Daily, manufacturing companies and builders produce liquid refuse or semi-solid refuse. These companies are a perfect fit for dumpster liners.

Mainly black opaque in color and thicknesses, dumpster liners range from 3 MIL thick to 12 MIL thick. The most popular container sizes are 20, 30 and 40 yard. Liners are also made for larger applications such as railway trailers and truck trailers. Contact Atlantic Poly for a quote on traditional or larger sizes.
 
Our dumpster liners or BinSkins are easily installed by one person and are designed to have an overhang on each side, so that the liner may be secured by tying it off to hooks, and taping or tying in knots to avoid having it blow off.

We want you to know that Atlantic Poly is a steward of the earth's environment in that we work very hard to maximize the use of recycled source material throughout our entire supply process. This blog will focus on the product nature and recycling promise of two of our primary products: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
 
LDPE is the basic compound of original commercial use of polyethylene. LPDE is characterized by good toughness, resistance to chemicals, flexibility and clarity. It's an excellent material in low heat electrical and chemical applications. LDPE is a flexible plastic which makes it a very versatile product with a wide range of commercial applications. In recent years, LDPE versatility improved as it emerged as a commonly accepted recyclable product. The average household today utilizes an assortment of recycled LDPE products to include:
 
• Trash can liners
• Compost bins
• Shipping envelopes
• Paneling
• Lumber
• Landscaping ties
• Floor tile
 
HDPE is more rigid and harder than lower density materials. It also has higher tensile strength; four times that of low-density polyethylene. It is three times better in compressive strength and meets FDA requirements for direct food contact applications. HDPE is a versatile plastic with many uses, especially for packaging. It carries low risk of leaching and is readily recyclable into many goods such as:
 
• Laundry detergent bottles
• Oil bottles
• Pens
• Recycling container
• Floor tile
• Drainage pipe
• Lumber
• Benches
• Picnic tables
• Fencing
 
It is important to us that you understand that Atlantic Poly is doing our part to protect the environment through our use of recycled products in our processes. We also encourage you to consider recycling not only the common household items listed here, but any and all products that you notice marked with the "recyclable" label.

Dumpster liners are a popular alternative to poly sheeting. They are also environmentally friendly; keeping hazardous materials contained therefore protecting workers, employees, and all others who may be in the immediate area. Made from polyethylene they provide a cleaner, safer, easier way to dump debris, and other airborne contaminants.

Atlantic Poly is a supplier of a variety of polyethylene dumpster and drum liners that help make waste disposal easier and safer. Dumpster liners reduce potential leakage, lower wash-out costs and increase container longevity. We carry products in standard stock sizes for quick delivery and can also customize our liners to meet your specific needs.

BinSkins are heavy-duty polyethylene liners, providing maximum protection for your roll-off containers. Liners from Atlantic Poly are rugged and tear-resistant and aid in the transport of solids and sludge liquids.

We have also developed a new line of Roll Off liners called “TRUE LINERS” which are guaranteed full gauge, full spec liners that meet all EPA and Government requirements.  Current liners on the market are being sold at industry gauge tolerance +/- 10%. This has created numerous problems on various job sites where the EPA has actually refused dump trailers to be loaded because of under-gauge bags.  Our “TRUE LINERS” are guaranteed and certified to meet full gauge requirements.

In any industrial facility, the possibility of exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals or blood and body fluids cannot be ignored. And spills such as these pose health risks not only to employees, but can endanger the environment as well. Using drum liners would afford additional security against leaks and spills. DrumSkins™, Poly Plastic Drum Liners from Atlantic Poly Inc provide an extra level of safety, reliability and protection, especially when used for dense or viscous materials. Drum liners are a necessary precaution in keeping chemical contents separated from other materials and waste products.
 
Keeping up the level of safety and security in the workplace requires maintaining high standards of regulations and practices. And since chemicals such as oils, fuels and other materials which can all contribute to pollution, industrial facilities need to exercise extra precautions. Polyethylene Plastic Drum Liners are a step that would afford additional security against leaks and spills. There are many chemicals in the products and resulting wastes which are made and/or used in manufacturing. Many can prove quite dangerous to people's health and the immediate surroundings.
 
As a Polyethylene and Poly Drum Liner supplier, Atlantic Poly Inc provides a sensible, cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for storing, mixing and processing liquids, pastes and powders. Contact us for a quote.

Many people will wonder, what is a Roll Off Dumpster Liner? A dumpster liner, in many ways, can be considered to be a massive garbage bag. However, many more attributes are used to specify dumpster liners, such as thicknesses, colors, sizes, chemical make-ups, uses, manufacturing techniques, and packaging.  Even more importantly, there are many different liner requirements/types based on your company's specific application.  Concrete companies, asbestos abatement companies, environmental service corporations, and others rely on Roll Off Dumpster Liners  to contain materials which may be hazardous to public health or our environment. The liner is easily installed and the dumpster is ready to use in no time. in the US (varies by state), environmental laws require the use of dumpster liners. This is necessary so  when a dumpster is being transported there is contaminated liquid dripping.

Many manufacturing facilities produce a daily amount of liquid refuse or semi-solid refuse. These companies  use dumpster liners, or BinSkins for daily operation. BinSkins are mainly black opaque in color and thicknesses typically range from 3 MIL thick to 12 MIL thick. The most popular container sizes are 20, 30 and 40 yard. However, at Atlantic Poly we also make drum liners and liners are also made for larger applications such as railway trailers and truck trailers and you may request a quote for any of these larger sizes. BinSkins are easily installed by one person and are designed to have an overhang on each side, so that the liner may be secured by tying it off to hooks, and taping or tying in knots to avoid having it blow off. Contact Atlantic Poly for your BinSkins order.

A dumpster liner is a massive garbage bag. Of course, there is much more to dumpster liners, such as several thicknesses, sizes, chemical make-ups, uses, manufacturing techniques, and packaging. Most importantly, there are many different liner requirements, each based on a company's specific needs. Concrete companies, asbestos abatement professionals, environmental service corporations and many more rely on Roll Off Dumpster Liners daily to contain materials which may be harmful to others or our environment. Liners are often purchased in addition to renting a container. From New Hampshire to Kansas to California, environmental laws demand the use of dumpster liners.

As an owner, manager or site superintendent if you ask yourself "do i need roll off dumpster liners?" the answer is most likely yes. Insulation and asbestos abatement professionals are required by law to contain and encapsulate any materials which have been found to be hazardous to the public's health. Concrete companies have been the target of environmental agencies for years. The main concern with regards to concrete is the run-off or intentional pouring of wash out material. Man made disasters such as the gulf coast oil spill and hurricane Katrina make liners a must. There is no American who wants to see a dumpster driving down the highway dripping contaminated liquid. In other cases, many manufacturing facilities produce a daily amount of liquid refuse or semi-solid refuse. Again, these companies depend on liners for daily operation to maintain man-hours spent on clean up.

These liners are manufactured much like a trash-can liner or garbage bag. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is what is commonly referred to as a plastic garbage bag. This resin is used to produce a Roll Off Dumpster Liner. LDPE has a recycle number of 4. One positive is that the majority of these liners used to keep our streets clean are made of recycled resins. We have our standard sizes but feel free to contact us or request a quote for any other size and we'll be happy to help.
