Can you use regular trash bags? Why are the simple human bags special?

Regular 13 gallon trash bags with drawstrings work great. Every brand I've tried has fitted the can well; some of them just need to be stretched a little to fit over the liner opening. The simple human bags fit the liner perfectly but are not needed; after trying them, I actually preferred my regular 13 gallon bags.

You can use 13 gallon trash bags but it is a little struggle to get the top of the bag over the can. Simple human bags are made to fit perfectly but cost too much so I make do with the regular trash bags.

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.

I don't know about the simple human bags but I can tell you normal bags are fine - that's all I've ever used.

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. Yes you can use regular trash bags.

Yes, you can use regular trash bags. I'm partial to Glad Tall Kitchen quick tie bags (13 gallon) and they work great with this can - you have to stretch them ever so slightly to fit the top of the can opening, but it does not affect their functionality. Simple human bags are specifically made to fit this trash can, but for the price, I would go with regular bags.

I have used regular bags, but I ended up going back to the simple human bags because they are so much stronger and they fit inside perfectly and barely show from the outside of the can. But yes, you can use regular bags just fine to save $$$. I buy the big box of simple human bags off of Amazon and it seems to be cheaper than buying the smaller boxes at a retail store but it is still more $$ than just buying regular bags. By the way I love this trash can. I can't believe I spent the money on it that I did, but it was really worth it.

No handles, but there are indentations on the back left and right that make it easier to pull the bins out when they're full. Also, when putting the trash bag in on the larger bin, you have to wrap the top of the bag around and twist it to secure it using the hole on the back side of the bin. I used the bags that came with the unit, but have since used regular trash bags (Glad or store brand) and they work just fine. The Simple Human bags are a bit pricey for us.

I really don't know. The Jet bags are so much heavier than regular trash bags. There is a lot of wind speed in the bag. I'm afraid that the trash bags might rupture and leave a mess. I have a top for a trash can that I feed the dust through before it hits the dust collector. That helps by causing the smaller particles to stay in the trash can so the Jet bags don't fill up as fast. I do use regular trash bags in the can because the sides of the can helps to protect the bag from splitting. I change that bag more often so the weight of the dust doesn't split the bag.

I use Glad standard tall white trash bags...the ones with the drawstrings. They work just fine!

Yes. I use off-the-shelf bags; however, you do get a supply from simplehuman when you purchase this wonderful can.

I have never bought trash bags. I have always used the supermarket and department store bags for this purpose......way cheaper and they fit perfectly!

I use standard kitchen trash bags. I'm not familiar with planet wise liners...

I use these for regular (non-recycle) trash. Please note that Simple Human sells custom fit garbage bags designated by the code, this one is "C". Your trash can should have the same code. I am very pleased with these garbage bags, both quality and how well they fit my trash can.

Simple human bags are excellent quality and fit. Other bags work no problem, not messy just not quite as good.

I use bags from cereal, chips, or any large bag that will go into the garbage anyway. Grocery bags are recyclable so I would rather recycle and use what is going into the garbage any way. It doesn't smell up the house and it probably will sit there a week before we take out the trash.

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

Good question. I use a black trash bag, but one made like a grill cover would be nice.

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.

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

You can use regular plastic grocery bags if you like. I only used grocery bags. Made it easier to clean up everything.

Yes, you can even use the common grocery bag. It doesn't look the prettiest, because the handles will peek out from the sides, but it's still functional. The bin itself can take a bag about twice as big as your standard grocery bag, but I didn't care to buy a whole box of bags since it takes me about a month just to fill the grocery bags.

No. Using plastic bags would actually make it more difficult. It's simple enough as is.
