Does this trash can work with "regular" 8 gallon trash bags or must you buy the Simplehuman brand trash bags?

I believe the bag from its own brand would be a perfect fit. But I have been using Kirkland (Costco brand) 13-gal drawstring kitchen bags. There is a hole on the side of the inner tube, for you to tuck in the edge of bag, so to secure the position, so I assume any brand would work, as long as the bag is big enough. (8-gal?? but my 13-gal Costco bag fits just fine; I wonder if 8-gal would be too small)

They will work but the SH brand trash bags are slimmer to fit the exact size of the trash can. I did find that it was easier to tuck away the excess at the top using the SH brand bags.

It does not have to be Simplehuman brand, but I use bags a bit larger than 8 gallons to compensate for the shape.

I use a ten gallon trash bag any brand so I can tuck the extra plastic around. I think it works perfectly. I have not used an 8 gallon bag yet.

I use all kinds of trash bags in this, there is a little hole on the inside of the can liner that lets you feed excess bag into it for a better fit.

I use the brand name bags but it would probably work with the regular ones.

I use regular bags- they are a little larger than the opening but I tuck the edges. I think it is fine.

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 have the twin trashcans with 20 liter/5.2 gal recycling can. The D bag fits the recycling side can which is narrower than the trash can. It probably will fit any 20 liter simplehuman can. Also you can look on their website as well as Amazon which might be more helpful.

Yes you can use regular trash bags. Though the tall kitchen garbage bags will be slightly small; we are able to make them fit (we just stretch them a bit to fit over the rim. Though since they are not actually sized for the trashcan, the bag will fill up before the trashcan does. Does that make sense? Whereas the Simple Human bag are made for the trashcan, so you can fit a lot more in the bag before having to change bags. I bought a huge box of normal tall kitchen garbage bags before buying this trashcan; so we are using those up before I even consider buying different bags. Hope this helps. I have to say though... I LOVE THIS TRASHCAN! Works easily, sturdy construction, and stains wipe off with ease.

You can use regular size 13 gallon bags for this. The Sam's Club bags work just fine.

It comes with a sample of simple human trash bags, but we use regular thirteen gallon trash bags. Yes you can remove one bucket at a time. One always seems to fill up faster than the other.

I use Glad Brand standard size 13 gallon bags. Never had a problem with torn bags in the 6 months that I have owned this product. I have a family of 4, with 2 teenagers, and kitchen trash piles up very quickly. You would also get your money's worth on your trash bags. With the 13 gallon bags, even though it does not reach the bottom of the can fully, it works very well. The trash bags open up nicely to accomodate all your kitchen trash. The top lid also swings on the underside and can be removed by pressing the button on each sides, for trash disposal if you are having a busy cooking day, and does not want to be bothered by the swinging lid. If this is a product that you are looking for and match your kitchen, I don't think you will regret it. Hope this helped. Good luck!

I use MSR canisters labeled 8oz/227g, and they fit. I think most canisters are all a standard size, but I cannot speak any other brands.

Simple human sells bags perfectly fitted to these buckets 8 gal size G. However you could use any traditional trash bag if you wanted. Yes, the buckets remove one at a time.

I have used Great Value (Walmart brand) tall kitchen bags also and had no problem. I just prefer the Simplehuman. They really are stronger and I have not had any leakage or tearing at all with them no matter how full I stuff the can.

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.

I assume you mean the standard grocery store plastic bags that they pack your items in at checkout. The answer is no, they won't take them as the unit is too deep. We use GLAD "ForceFlex" large trash bags - 30 Gallon. Any 20-30 gallon plastic bag will do.

Hi! I have tried with no luck purchasing other garbage bags. I have since purchased the simply human bags and have not looked back. To me it's worth the investment.

I use Glad 13 gallon bags and they stay in place very well. I am very happy with this trash can after several months of use.

I use 4 gallon trash bags purchased from Target. Work great and I only have to replace the plastic receptacle every month or so.

I did not realize when we bought this trash can, that it needed special trash bags. I should have read the fine print. Yes, you can use generic draw string bags, but they don't fit as well as the bags that come with this can. I take the generic 13 gallon draw string trash bag, and push part of it through the hole in the back of the trash can, in order to tighten the baggy fit around the can. This works OK. Not perfect. Could be frustrating if you like a solid fit.
