Hello everyone,
I’m curious to see who has creative ideas to help me with my self-built trash bin system:
Problem:
Tears: Due to the lack of a support for the bags, the contents eventually become too heavy, causing the bags to tear in some areas.
Holes: Because of insufficient or improper attachment points, holes develop where trash sometimes falls through, as there are only four spots where the bag can be secured.
Solutions:
Tears: Either attach a board at the bottom for the bag to rest on, so that the weight is no longer on the bag itself. Or buy a custom-sized trash bin or build one yourself from wood.
Holes: Either apply adhesive tape to the bag to pull it up where holes would otherwise form and stick it down (disadvantage: the adhesive eventually loses effectiveness). Or use some kind of ring attachment. Or build a custom solution for the self-built trash bin.
I really need advice. I’m getting desperate here.
Best regards

Countertops are usually sealed with silicone, which is applied thinly to the open areas.Not entirely correct, as the silicone should be worked in to seal the pores of the particleboard. Alternatively, waterproof glue can also be used. In the case of the original poster, this may not be suitable because the angled cut is likely to stick together over time.
The actual risk does not come from the board itself, which, if high-quality, is already waterproofly bonded. The problem lies between the board and its surface coating, which needs to be sealed. This is best achieved by essentially wrapping the cutout. This works quite well with strong tape and a silicone bead applied around the sink. I would consider this almost 100% sustainable. Here is an example of how it can look:
