With an ever growing number of people living in multistory complexes and waste production not exactly dwindling, it is difficult to understand why the only readily available commercial garbage bags are designed for spacious suburban boulevards.
A garbage bag ought to be designed for the garbage chute.
It should be longer than a regular garbage bag, but narrow to slide easily into a standard garbage chute.
The current practice of reusing shopping bags or buying smaller sized bags for this purpose means that trips to the chute are more frequent.

In NYC alot of people just use those plastic grocery bags. Where would you put the extra long garbage bag; an extra long trash can? How will you get your garbage sausage into the chute; I see alot of wrestling to get it in? There is a prexisting garbage bag infrustructure you will have to overcome. |

BTW, you might actually try to produce and sell them. I would suggest you try to form current bags into the right shape and see if the concept actually works. I bet it is really hard to get them into the chute. |

FYI, I live in NYC, and although my building doesn't have a garbage chute (it does have a mail chute, which is more fun, anyway), I happily buy garbage bags - they fit the bin better. So there's probably a market for this. (My cleaning lady uses supermarket bags, though.) |

It's actually remarkably cheap and easy to get plastic bags made to spec. Perhaps you should get some made up and sell them in your building? |
