We replace trash bags when the trash is more than which fraction full?

• A. 1/2 full
• B. 2/3 full
• C. 3/4 full
• D. 4/5 full

Answer: (B)

Managing how full a trash bag gets is about preventing overflow while keeping routine tasks efficient. Replacing the bag when it’s two-thirds full provides a safe margin for added waste and any expansion, while keeping bag changes reasonably spaced. At this point you have about one-third of capacity left, enough to prevent tearing or leaks when you tie and remove it. Waiting until it’s half full leads to more frequent changes, which wastes time. Waiting until three-quarters full or closer to full increases the risk of overflow and mess, especially if wet or bulky items are added. So two-thirds full is the best practical threshold.
