Can you really not put grocery bags in this trash can?

Regular plastic grocery bags will be too small for this trash can. For the smaller models they will work. They are not as neat as a simple human trash bags though.

The inner can is tightly fitted. It has a hole to stuff excess plastic if you buy bags of matching size but fit is iffy. I don't think grocery bags are long enough.

You can, they will "fit", but they won't reach the bottom. But I suppose it would work in theory, just not with any heavy items. I would highly recommend using 2.6-3.2 Gallon trash bags, though.

It is big enough to put small plastic bags in it. We use it for used paper towels in our bathroom. I would not recommend putting large grocery bags in it.

You can, I actually use regular garbage bags, but the couple of bags that came with the bin were really more comfortable. I love the product and their 10 year garuantee I didn't think garbage bins lasted that long

Yes, you can. I usually use a Target bag (since they are a little bigger/deeper) but even a standard-size grocery bag will fit. It might not be as nice looking or hold up as well as the Simple Human bags, but it DOES work.

Yes you can that's is what we have been using. Does not hold a lot but is adequate for the two of us.

It's a little too deep for most grocery bags. The circumference is just right, though.

not unless it's a tall one. It's a 50 liter can. I can use the regular plastic tall kitchen bags just fine. I think they're 13 gallon size. It's 9.5" x 17" x 23" high inside the can with the top off. The thing I like most about it is that the top holds the bag tight, so I can push down the trash without the bag going inside the can. The bag lasts longer that way.

I haven't tried it but I checked it out and it looks like if you were to remove 2 screws at the top of the can one in front and one in back the divider will come out. But there are two plastic rings that fit on the top of the can, one for each side that the trash bags tuck around to hold them in place. this might cause a problem as they would still be down the center. I guess you could remove them and just put the bag over the entire can and put the lid on to hold the bags.

Yes you can. We have a regular step-can trash can in our nursery and just put regular trash bags in it. I use these for the poopy diapers so they don't stink up the place. Helps cut down on odor a lot without having to get a fancy pail.

I agree with the other responder. As far as bags, I don't know. I put unwanted grease in coffee cans or other containers for disposal.

It is possible to tuck the edge in where it doesn't look messy. They don't fit as well as the manufacturer's trash bags, but still work fine for me.

No.. I would not want to drag it around. If I took it to work I would leave it there but not transport- it would not fit comfortably in a lg grocery bag

Not neatly, there's alot of leftover bag. But I use regular bags. You canbuy the fitted ones for not THAt much more than the regular, but I'd rather just get them at the store. I did buy the special bags for the small side. I use that side for trash and the big side for recycling.

I don't find removing the bag difficult. There is plastic insert inside the trash bin fits snugly, however, so the bag sits tight. There are two little indentations where you use to lift this insert and remove the bag. This trash can is terrific!

You can, I guess, but the results will probably not be very good. The idea behind the bag isn't just that it's designed to fit the container. It's also built to hold the diapers (way more than a grocery bag) and it helps control the smell. Grocery bags are not nearly as strong as these, and they are more porous, meaning they are far more likely to rip, leak, or both. You're better off taking your old grocery bags back to the grocery store as most will recycle them. Look for the recycling bin, usually right near the entrance of the store.

No. The bag wraps around the top of the can. There is a small hole where you can tuck in any extra so the edge of the bag doesn't show. This can comes with a pack of Simple Human trash bags, but I have also used generic bags (13gal) and they fit fine. We had a different version previously that did have a plastic piece that help the bag in place. It would often catch on the bag when removing a full bag, and sometimes tore the bag. It was irritating. This one has nothing, not even the lid opening /foot pedal mechanism, that can catch in and tear a bag. I highly recommend it.

No, those would be too wide and tall. It comes with custom bags from simplehuman that fit the can perfectly. I believe the average plastic grocery bag would work however.

I do. But there isn't a special place for the bags. I'm really unhappy with this purchase. It it so flimsy and awful!

I do not know if a regular plastic grocery bag would work or not. It would have to fit correctly and not bind anywhere.

yes, you can use a grocery bag: it isn't a perfect fit (and it will limit the capacity you could otherwise get, bc grocery bags hold less than this can does) but it works

We don't use bags on ours. We just pop the bins out and take them out. However, you could use 13 gallon trash bags (will be too tall) or you could cut paper grocery bags to fit. Plastic grocery bags will be small but work too.

Yes you do. I use grocery plastic bags or you can purchase the ones that it is designed for. Litter maid does not use plastic bags. It uses plastic containers if you prefer
