What do you use for a liner in a community where plastic grocery bags are illegal? Can you use bags without handles?

I use WalMart brand 4 gallon twist tie garbage bags. Perfect size and not expensive.

We don't use a liner; it's a small can for non-food items in our living room. When it's full, we just pull out the inside, dump the contents in our kitchen trash can and pop the inside back in! And if the inner can/liner does get dirty or sticky, you can easily wipe it off; it's easy to handle. Hope this helps.

I use regular trash bags with mine. The simple human might go on easier but if you have ones that stretch at the top a bit it's fine.

Probably but I save $$ by just using the plastic shopping bags given by the supermarkets and by not purchasing garbage bags at all. Any plastic bag with side handles will work as you fold the bag over the top and the side handles hook around the structure to keep it in place. We love ours as we have a trash chute in our bldg where we need to keep our bags of waste to a minimum- and the contraption conceals nicely under our sink cabinet. Highly recommended!!

There isn't an inside bin or anything like that, so you really do need to use it with bags. The inside of the container has lots of ridges so it doesn't lend to bagless use anyway.

I personally use a supermarket plastic bag. It is too small to justify using a commercial trash bag

I use the plastic bags from grocery stores ,pharmacies etc. These have worked for me for the 12 plus years I have used this product.

I'm using it in a bathroom, so yes. If you were using it in an office, only for waste paper, then no it would not need a plastic bag liner.

IMHO it would be awkward to try and use a plastic bag inside these bins, not saying it can't be done just that it would be awkward. We fill them up and carry them to our larger curbside pick-up recycle bin.

I suppose it could be used without disposable bags. However, I would imagine that cleanup of it would NOT be pleasant. If she has any way of at least getting plastic trashbags, that would work. On a different note, I think this is a very nice gesture in offering help to someone.

It could be lined with a plastic bag but I don't bc I generally use it for paper type or non messy trash.

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.

We use recycled plastic bags - it doesn't matter what brand, as long as they are about 10-13 gallon sized. The inner plastic bin is separate so you pull it up a little and tuck the bags in around the outside of the inner bin and inside the outer rim of the trash can itself.

I did not use trash bags. I purchased the Carex Health Brands Commode Liners (7 count pack of 6). They contain an absorbent powder to reduce odors. Hold up to 2 quarts of liquid. The container is not very big so I would think that some trash bags could be used. The Carex bags are not inexpensive but work well to contain the liquid since they contain the granules to absorb liquid whereby a trash bag does not. I was more concerned with odor control so did not even consider the use of trash bags.

You should use a trash bag. It does not have an interior waterproof plastic liner like some stainless steel step trash cans do. I use regular 13 gal kitchen trash bags from Costco and they work fine.

We use brown paper trash bags that we receive from the supermarket. Gives us a big opening and plenty of room. We simply roll close the bag and place in the trash container. Limited smell and the bags are free!!

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
