Glue the Tube to the Trash Can to Prevent Bags From Getting Stuck

When your trash bag overflows, a vacuum can build up, making it difficult to remove. To counteract this effect, attach the tube to the inside of the can. This helps maintain airflow to the bottom of the can to prevent the bag from getting stuck.

Another common solution is to drill a hole in the side of the can , but this not only allows the material to flow out, but also allows pests to enter. It also ruins the bin if you ever want to use it for anything other than bagged trash. Instead of physically modifying the bin, Imgur user samarei suggests sticking a solid tube to the inside of the bin. Samarei uses copper pipe, but you can easily use PVC or any other material that doesn’t shrink when your bag is full.
