Question
I am looking at the possibility of changing our style of linen hampers to help avoid over-filling the bags. I am wondering if the full bags can be pulled out the bottom or if they must be lifted out. I appreciate the help. Thank you!

Answer

The 18 inch Round Linen Hamper With Tilt Lid is designed for lifting the hamper bags from the top.  The lid itself will act as a deterrent for overfilling.  But an overzealous doctor or nurse will still be able to stuff the bag.
