Compactor Trash Bag Hangs on Ram

If the trash bag hangs from the ram, check the following:

Bag not properly installed

• The trash bag should be neatly installed into the trash container so that the bag is hugging the container wall and bottom.
• Do not allow wrinkles that can catch on the ram as it cycles into and out of the container.

Using commercial trash bags

• Commercial trash bags are not sized to fit the trash container. They are too large to fit the container and will usually cause problems.
• Use bags recommended by the manufacturer.
