Will a biodegradable liner (i.e. BioBag) fit inside the bin without having the liner visible on the exterior of the product?

I'm not sure of the dimensions of the bio bag so I can't tell you if it would stick out. I don't think it's necessary to have a bag inside. This container is amazing. It holds a lot and contains the odor! Good luck with your decision.

I don't know. I use newspaper or a small piece of paper towel. All of it goes into the compost.

not if you fold it over the rim to hold it up. The lid to this container seats on the inside, so if the bag goes over the rim, it will be exposed.

These liners aren't compostable (have not found any that are) but the diapers we use are so we leave the bag untied when we throw it away so that the diapers will compost in the landfill. if you tie up both ends then they won't compost in the bag the same with O2 and be a time capsule of stank for generations to come

No, paper grocery bags are too big to fit in the container.They have plastic bags that fit, but obviously they are not environmentally friendly. We simply use the same plastic bag over and over again, so the plastic stays out of the land fill.

No, a liner does not come with the bin you will have to use a plastic trash bag to like the bin. When you open the lift up lid and look inside you will see only wood. However, the base and top are designed such that when you put a bag in the bin the open end of the bag will fold around the top of the bin and the lift top lid piece will hold the bag in place. This keeps the bag from falling into the bin keeping the inside walls of the bin nice and clean. I hope this was helpful.

Sure, just search amazon for earth rated waste bag and you will see their biodegradable bags

The hinge for the lid would prevent the bag from draping all the way around. It might not be a problem though. You might be able to put the bag on with the lid off and then slide the hinge in place. I really like having the hinged lid, Othewise a lid would be sitting on the counter taking up space while you are filling the bin.

No. Plastic is not biodegradable. Anyone who says otherwise is stretching the truth, at best, or lying. Some thin, light plastics will decay quickly but that just turns them into tiny pieces of non-degradable plastic. In lakes and oceans this is an increasing problem. There are plastic substitutes that are biodegradable such as some food packaging. I find these to be very good poop bags and I use them only away from home. Near home or in my yard, I use a pooper scooper and dispose without a bag.

Yes besides the removable hard plastic bin type liner, there is a plastic liner to the cooler.

I haven't used it yet, but I think I would use a liner so the plastic doesn't leach into my organic herbs (when I plant them).

Not really. They are translucent - you can't see all your garbage through them, but you can see shapes, colors, etc. Kinda like any other basic kitchen garbage bag. You could not hide something in them.

You'd want a liner or trash bag for diapers anyway. Otherwise the can itself will start to smell.

Ours has doors that cover up what's underneath . Only when you open the doors can you see our bins and we just bought them at Target.

This can has a removable inner bin that takes the liner. SimpleHuman liners (expensive) are specifically shaped for their bin. 13 gal standard kitchen trash bags will fit the bin and any excess as they are drawn tight to the bin can be inserted through a hole provided for this purpose at the back top of the inner bin. This is hardly any additional work. Just look for bags at least 1mil or thicker.

There are several vertical ridges on the underside of the bin, I don't really think this would work for your intended use.

I pull it around the top of the outside of the inside bin-then slide the bin back inside the garbage can. The fit is tight enough that it keeps the bag from falling in.

I use a 2.6 gallon compostable Glad bag, which is their smallest; there is about a 5 inch overhang, but it works. The interior of the bin is perfectly smooth and lid is easy to remove for cleaning. I find that there is a small amount of leakage after a week of filling the bin--either the bags are semi-permeable or they are beginning to compost. I take the bin out to my compost heap and dump the bag and liquid, then I rinse and dry the bin. A small inconvenience.

I don't think so. I wouldn't put anything consumable in this unless you added some sort of liner in it.
