For bags, I like to reuse paper grocery bags instead of buying plastic ones. Does a paper grocery bag fit into this can?

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.

This takes the standard 16 gallon plastic liners. Paper bags would be too small to insert inside.

Yes! They don't fit as snug with clean lines, but I just ran out of the ones that came with the purchase and put a grocery bag in. I will say the original bags are perfect. Medium trash bags work too.

we stopped trying to use liners to put inside; they fit awkwardly if you you go up or down a size, and the larger sized bags would never quite fill up. Instead we used this for broken down boxes, and recycled papers that were not shredded which did not require a bag. We use our larger recycle bin for plastics and cans. I'm sure that's not the answer you're looking for, but once it was purchased we wanted to make the best use for it as possible.

Yes, it's not a perfect fit like the custom bags, but if it's a bigger plastic grocery bag, it will fit fine.

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.

I like to reuse plastic grocery bags, but medium kitchen bags work fine (they're just a little big).

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.

Yes. I use a standard kitchen bag in the can and it fits perfectly. The lid goes on over the bag very nicely and covers the top of the can completely. If something gets on the inside or outside of the lid it comes off easily as well.

Yes but I recommend securing it to the rack with something additional to the quick-release that comes with it, so it doesn't slide off with the weight of the groceries. I have used bungee cords and zip ties with equal success. It probably fits two moderately stuffed Whole Foods paper bags.

I would think not. They work very well with large black plastic garbage bags (not kitchen sized bags), but I wouldn't try them with paper bags.

Yeah, I think so. They're both approximately stuffed-reusable-grocery-bag size, but if you had a backpack that stuck out the top, it would still work. And then you could put something across the top and bungee it down, and have even more. Definitely. That's what I plan on doing with these eventually.

Not very well. The can comes with a 5 pack of liners included which would give you a chance to try both kinds. I love the Simple human products. Nice heavy weight material less likely to tear and leak. Target bags are the only decent grocery bags to recycle

I've done it pretty much since I bought this can. I use double plastic grocery bags just in case they leak.

Yes it works great, we put grocery bags in it all the time.... I have even transported gallons of paint and care care products. Overall a good product

It will hold four bags, one in each compartment. Each compartment will hold about as much as a normal size paper grocery bag

No. There is a plastic ring that holds the bags. We had to start buying bags for our recyclables. But I still like the can a lot. It's a real space saver.

I would say yes since they take a 3 gallon bag - in a pinch, I use the plastic bags that you bring groceries home in.
