About
A standard kitchen trash bag is a thin plastic liner standing about waist-high when filled.
Trash bags come in many sizes, from small 4-gallon bathroom liners to large 55-gallon industrial drum liners. The standard 13-gallon kitchen bag represents the most common household version and matches typical indoor waste bins. Despite weighing next to nothing when empty, its thin plastic film can stretch to hold dozens of pounds of waste.
From Wikipedia
A bin bag, rubbish bag, garbage bag, bin liner, trash bag or refuse sack is a disposable receptable for solid waste. These bags are useful to line the insides of waste containers to prevent the insides of the container from becoming coated in waste material.
