Does this require bags or can the waste can be easily hooked and unhooked to carry waste outside? Thank you for your help!

No bags are needed! Yay! This trash can is extremely easy to handle, clean, and hang. I am very happy with my purchase of this can.

It can be unhooked by lifting it off the mounting screws, but we find it easier to just use a plastic bag liner and just remove the bag. We love this can for our small area in our Casita.

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.

Bags can be picked up at any time and carried on their own. The handles easily slip out so the bag can be washed.

To use this container, you also need to use compostable bags. These compostable bags can only be composted using industrial methods. I live in San Francisco where compost is picked up with trash and recycling. Put the compost bag into the compost bin. If you have a back yard composting system, you won't be able to break down the bags. In that case, you should not get this container but instead get a container that does not need a bag.

This is also very good to walk dogs and pick up after them. The only drawback is that since the poop is going to be "fresh" you will have to be "crafty" to get it all. My dog poops hard, so it's no issue there. I use a large sandwich bag to put it in. I then put the poop in a garbage bin with a lid, in a tall kitchen bag in it and twist tie it so that I can remove it when sanitation comes and not have it smell up the garage (where I keep the bin) ~ so far, no issues. The Poop Patrol saves me from having to bend down all the way and I have a bad back, so it helps.

It could be used without a bag, however, stuff would spray everywhere. Better to use the bag (or have two on hand to swap one out).

Very durable and washable and when need to put away takes up very little space. I would reccomend a trash bag. But not needed as we rinse our recyclables with water first.

You can . I tried using a trash bag, but for me it was a mess. It is so easy to pull the basket out and place a open plastic trash bag over the opening and dump the shredded paper in and dispose of it .

Homeless without access to a sanitary place to dump and wash this seems like a bad idea. With a bag liner she could at least put the waste in a dumpster which couldn't be worse than people putting their doggie dropping bags in the trash. In my experience homeless people tend to use public restrooms to get clean, you can't really walk into McDonald's with an open bucket of human waste and not get kicked out. It's going to be super foul in no time without liners.

The cart would have ample power for the job. The real question is how andy are you? POSSIBLE TO WIRE A LOWES OR HOME DEPOT BUCKET TO WHERE THE BAG SITS. AND ;PUT YOUR GROCERIES IN THE BUCKET. GOOD LUCK. P

It seems to take in a lot of stuff before you have to clean it. And no, water is not necessary. Easy to pull out, and bang it clean. Do it outside as it traps considerable dust, etc. Really easy.

Mine came on a pallet piled with individual bags. The bags were wrapped in industrial plastic and can be transported as a unit on the pallet. I simply had them unloaded at my curb, ripped open the plastic and carried the individual bags to my backyard. You'll be able to spread all the bags down in well under an hour with a good knife and a rake. I got mine on sale with free shipping and highly recommend it.

It's very easy and lifts right out. I use a plastic grocery bag as a liner and take it out every day. I have a bigger pail that I use for recycling. This door mounted pail is small, about the size volume of a plastic grocery bag. However I find it to be perfect for wet garbage, and things that won't recycle. I take it out to a dumpster in my condo complex after dinner mostly every day and am pleased not to have the garbage in the kitchen over night.

No bags, very Eco friendly- just dump out the yuck and put it back together and you're all set.

You don't need to use a bag. Each bin is easily removed to be emptied in a dumpster or curb trash bin. If you insist on a liner, use paper bag.

You can use the Compost Caddy without bags, but that would require constant cleaning of the container. The bags are WONDERFUL and make it very easy to just lift the bag out of the Compost Caddy and place it in our compost bin.

You can use without the bags, but it is a whole lot easier to manage, dump and keep clean if you do use them. I've done it both ways with all of my compost bins (I also have smaller ceramic crock), and I far prefer to use the bags.
