Keep Your Trash Can Clean — Without Ever Scrubbing It Again
BagEZ suspends any garbage bag inside your bin so wet waste never touches the walls. No smell. No maggots. No cleaning service, just a steel frame that's built to last.
Cleaning your trash can doesn’t fix anything — it just resets the clock.
Extra large trash can bags are expensive and hard to find. And while regular 13–33 gallon garbage bags can hold heavy loads, resist punctures, and prevent liquid seepage, they cannot stretch over the opening of a large outdoor curbside bin. But with BagEZ you can get the same protection liners provide — with any bag.
When wet gross waste like pet poop and diapers is mixed in with everyday household waste, their flimsy holding bags burst, rip, or get punctured — releasing garbage juice that spreads, sticks, and stinks up your bin.
Flies need moist organic matter to reproduce. A damp bin interior is the ideal breeding ground for maggots. Once they hatch, cleaning alone won’t stop the cycle.
Professional trash can cleaning runs $15–$45 per visit. Monthly service costs $180–$540 per year, for a problem that comes right back within days.
Bleach, pressure washing, and baking soda — all effective immediately. But the next use restarts the contamination cycle. There is no permanent fix through cleaning alone.
⚡ The insight: You don’t need a better way to clean your bin. You need a way to keep it from getting dirty in the first place.

Use any 10–55 gallon bag: standard plastic, compostable, or biodegradable. Any brand, any type.
→Clip BagEZ inside
Drape the bag over the BagEZ frame and clip it over the inside lip of your bin. No tools required.
→Use your bin normally

Two ways to use BagEZ — pick what works for your household.
One of BagEZ’s biggest advantages is flexibility. You’re not locked into a specific bag size or brand. Depending on how your household generates waste, you can use BagEZ either way — and both keep your bin spotlessly clean.

Isolate just the wet waste with a small 13-gallon bag
The smartest approach for households that want to minimize bag spend. Use a standard kitchen-size 13-gallon bag to capture only the food scraps, meat packaging, and other wet waste that make your bin dirty, while dry waste goes in loose around it.
- ✓Smallest, cheapest bag you can buy — already in most homes
- ✓A single bag easily holds a family’s wet waste for a full week
- ✓Dry waste (cardboard, packaging) sits loose in the bin — no bag needed
- ✓Dramatically reduces bag consumption vs. full-bin liners
- ✓Bin walls stay completely dry — zero odor, zero maggot risk
Households with 35–96 gallon outdoor bins who want maximum cost savings and already separate wet from dry waste. Works perfectly for green bin/compost programs too.
Line the whole bin with a 33-gallon bag — everything goes in
For households that prefer a single bag for all waste, wet and dry together. BagEZ holds a standard 33-gallon bag open across the full width of your bin so it never collapses, leaks, or shifts. When it’s full, swap it out. The bin itself never gets dirty.
- ✓Maximum convenience — everything in one bag, no sorting required
- ✓BagEZ frame keeps the bag fully open — no collapsing, no shifting
- ✓Bin walls remain 100% clean even with a fully-loaded bag
- ℹLarger bins may require more bags per week as capacity fills faster
- ℹHigher ongoing bag cost than Method 1 — but far less than bin cleaning services
Households with larger bins (64–96 gal) who prioritize simplicity over bag savings, or those who don’t separate waste streams. Also ideal for rental properties and high-use locations.
Turn any hook into a home recycling station — no bins required.
If BagEZ keeps your outdoor trash can clean, the hanging version does the same for your recycling — without bulky bins taking up floor space in your kitchen, garage, or pantry.
Hang one BagEZ 10×13" on a cabinet door, pantry hook, or garage wall. Drop in a standard bag. Toss paper, plastic, or cans directly in. When full, tie it off and take it out. No dedicated bin. No floor space. No mess.
Paper & Cardboard
Hang on pantry door — fills at its own pace
Plastic & Cans
Hang in the garage or under the sink for easy sorting
Glass & Metal
Separate stream, always accessible — never on the floor
- ✓Folds flat when not in use — stores in a drawer
- ✓Works on any cabinet door, hook, drawer handle, or wall mount
- ✓Uses standard grocery bags, paper bags, or any 13-gal bag
- ✓Eliminates the need for multiple bulky recycling bins on the floor
- ✓Perfect for apartments, small kitchens, and RVs

What real households say about keeping their bins clean with BagEZ.
“I was paying $35/month to have someone clean my bins. With BagEZ, I canceled it immediately. The bin literally never gets dirty anymore. I couldn’t believe how simple the fix was.”
“Set up in two minutes. Fits my city-issued 65-gallon perfectly. No more maggots in summer, which was honestly a nightmare every year. This thing is genius, and I’m annoyed it took me this long to find it.”
“I tried three different compost bin liner solutions before BagEZ. This is the only one that actually doesn’t leak. The steel frame keeps the bag perfectly open. My green bin has stayed clean for four months.”
Trash can odor and pest control tips — to use alongside or before BagEZ.
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth
2–3 tablespoons of food-grade diatomaceous earth on wet waste eliminates fly larvae before they develop. Works alongside BagEZ for total protection.
Line the bottom of the bin
Add a layer of newspaper or cardboard at the base of the bin to absorb any liquid that may leak out from containers disposed of directly in the bin.
Scented bags & pouches
Use mint-scented bags or an external fragrance pouch to make your home smell good and keep pests away — the scent irritates them and deters them from your bin.
Use citrus or baking soda
A handful of baking soda or a cut lemon placed inside the bin (not the bag) absorbs ambient odor between bag changes. Cheap and effective.
Quick rinse when changing bags
With BagEZ in place, any rare spill stays on the bag — not the bin. A quick pour of water over the bag and bin rim before swap keeps things pristine.
Sanitize & deodorize
After the garbage truck has emptied your trash can, spray the inside of the bin and lid with a sanitizing spray to kill germs and remove lingering odors.
Frequently asked questions about trash can cleaning, maggots, odor, and BagEZ.
Will BagEZ fit my trash can?
BagEZ fits any standard residential trash can with an inner raised lip or rim — which covers the vast majority of 35, 65, and 96-gallon bins. The 13×13" Bin Liner Holder is specifically designed for large outdoor wheeled bins (35–96 gallons) and fits 13–55 gallon standard garbage bags.
If your bin doesn’t have a raised lip, BagEZ can be hung from a heavy-duty hook or two screws installed on the inner walls. Email us and we’ll walk you through it.

How does BagEZ actually stop maggots and odor?
Flies need moist organic matter on surfaces to lay eggs and complete their life cycle. When a loose garbage bag sits at the bottom of a bin, liquid seeps under and around it — leaving warm, wet organic residue on the bin walls. That’s where maggots come from.
BagEZ suspends the bag from the bin’s rim, so the bag hangs freely inside and waste never contacts the bin walls. Surfaces stay dry. No moisture, no fly habitat — no maggots. For extra protection, add diatomaceous earth to wet waste. The CDC’s guidance on fly-borne disease explains why dry surfaces are critical to prevention.

What size garbage bag do I need for BagEZ?
The 13×13" Bin Liner Holder is compatible with standard 13–55 gallon garbage bags. You don’t need special oversized bin liners. Use the bags you already buy — standard, compostable, or biodegradable. For compost use, we recommend a heavy-duty compostable bag for wet food waste.
How long does BagEZ last?
BagEZ is powder-coated steel — built for long-term use. Powder coating is more durable than paint, and with basic care (occasional rinse, dry storage when not in use), your BagEZ frame should last many years. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. The frame may develop minor cosmetic wear over time, which does not affect function.
Do I need to modify my bin to use BagEZ?
No. BagEZ clips over the interior rim of your bin — no screws, no drilling, no permanent modification. Setup takes about 1 minute. If your bin has an unusual lip shape or no raised edge, contact us at info@bagez.com and we’ll advise on the best setup.
Tap to enlarge — fits with or without raised rim
Can I still close my bin’s lid with BagEZ installed?
Yes. BagEZ sits below the bin’s rim, so standard hinged lids close normally in most bins. The bag hangs freely inside without obstructing the lid mechanism. If your bin has an unusually low internal profile, contact us and we can advise.
What happens if I forget to remove BagEZ before putting the trash can to the curb?
Every BagEZ comes with a large 4×4 inch brightly colored sticker designed to stick right on top of your trash can lid as a visual reminder to remove the holder before curbside pickup. It’s bright enough that you genuinely can’t miss it. If you ever need a replacement sticker, just email info@bagez.com.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied for any reason, return BagEZ within 30 days for a full refund. Please email info@bagez.com to request an RGA number before returning your unit. Items returned without an RGA number cannot be processed.
