Understanding the Garbage Bags Category
The Garbage Bags category, identified by the numeric ID 2374, covers products intended for residential or professional waste collection. Its full path in the Google taxonomy is Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Garbage Bags, and it sits at level 3 of the hierarchy.
What Belongs in This Category
This category is specifically for bags designed to hold refuse or waste material. Examples from the US market include tall kitchen drawstring bags, heavy-duty contractor bags for construction waste, scented small trash bags for bathrooms, and recycled plastic waste liners. Products categorized here are typically sold in rolls or boxes and serve the primary function of containment for trash and recyclables before final disposal.
What Does Not Belong Here
Do not place products that belong in neighboring categories within the Household Supplies tree here. Exclude items such as general household cleaning supplies, laundry detergents, storage bins or organization containers, and pest control traps. Additionally, this category is not for items like trash compactor accessories or generic waste containment hardware, which are specifically addressed in their own sub-categories. If a product is meant to clean the floor, protect furniture, or organize drawers, it should be mapped to the most relevant neighboring category instead.
Feed Implementation
In your feed, use the value 2374 or the full string Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Garbage Bags for the google_product_category attribute. While this field is technically optional, providing the ID ensures Google applies the correct policies and attributes to your inventory without relying on potentially inaccurate automatic classification.
