Abstract
Abstract A compactor bag includes opposed paper sheets which are joined at the edges and at one end in the manner of a ''''flat'''' bag. A liquid impervious casing extends over the joined ends of the sheets and comprises a length of low density polyethylene which is folded and then heat sealed along the edges. The liquid impervious casing is secured to the paper sheets by separate and distinct joining systems each resistant to attack by a different substance. By this means the liquid impervious casing retains liquid in the compactor bag even though refuse containing substantial amounts of moisture and/or other deleterious materials is deposited in the bag.
