Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dahle 20724 fit the ShredMATIC SM 300?
Yes, it is the matching bag. The SM 300 has an 11-gallon locking bin, which falls inside the 20724's 11 to 19 gallon range. The smaller ShredMATIC SM 90 has a 7-gallon bin and does not take this bag.
Which bag should I order for a Dahle 52214?
Order the 20724. The 52214 has an 11-gallon bin, and this 16 x 30 x 14 inch gusseted bag is sized for bins from 11 to 19 gallons. The smaller 20723 is meant for 8 to 10 gallon bins and would be too short.
What is the difference between the 20723 and 20724 bags?
Size and box count. Both are 1.5 mil gusseted plastic. The 20723 is 12 x 24 x 12 inches for 8 to 10 gallon bins and comes 200 per box, while the 20724 is 16 x 30 x 14 inches for 11 to 19 gallon bins and comes 100 per box. Use the one that matches your bin's rated volume.
Is a smaller box of 20724 bags available?
No, the 20724 is sold only as a box of 100. Dahle packs most of its mid-size bags in 100s; only the 8-10 gallon 20723 comes in 200s and the 71-120 gallon 20737 in 50s.
Why not just buy a bigger bag to be safe?
Because an oversized bag works against you. Surplus film folds over inside the cabinet, can sit in the path of falling shred and may get drawn toward the cutters, and it makes the bin look emptier than it is. Matching the bag to the bin's stated volume avoids those problems.
