Can I use this in my regular trash can or it'll be a waste of money? I have a 14 wide by 16 high waste basket.

The bags r totally designed to fit the simple human trash containers I would only buy them if you have the trash can. If you don't have the trash can spend the $ on one they are the best and have a great warrenty on them

You could a small can, but it would be wiser to get the roll out trash bin. Use the slide n stack to organize under the sink instead.

I haven't tried yet, I'm still using the complimentary bags that came with the trash can. However, it looks as if you can use just any bags that are big enough. I just went to the kitchen and tried one of my old 13 gal bags and it fits fine, it's even a bit large but this doesn't matter, you just have to pul the strings together and push one side to the little hole on top of the plastic insert.

I would have to say no. The basket is pretty short. I would go for a taller one for larger item storage.

I put this in to replace an old trash compactor. It worked very well. Be sure to measure carefully to make sure it will fit.

If you have the old bin, measure it at the top length and width, and don't forget the total heigth, so it can fit into the cabinet. All of the box store trash cans were too tall for our cabinet. I'm thinking that would be the most critical measurement.

I don't think so; this is a very sleek looking waste basket. I got it in brown and it does not look plastic; fits in snug spaces. Good luck

We actually use this 3 can step & sort only for compost & the 13 gallon food waste bags fit perfectly. I do not know anything about the simplehuman custom bags, but 13 gallon is the right size. You will definately want to get the big rubber bands made specifically to hold the garbage bags "up" or they will fall in no matter what size bag you use. We also have the 2 can step & sort for regular garbage & the "tall kitchen" garbage bags (13 gal) also fits that one. Hope this helps you.

I do not think the opening would be large enough. You could simply lift the lid like a normal trash can if you are buying it for its odor control properties.

Yes, "normal" tall bags work fine. I use the Kirkland-brand bags from Costco. The Costco bags are wider than the inner waste-basket, but there's a simple solution. Near the top of the inner waste basket (on the front side) is a hole. I just poke and cinch the excess width of the bag through that hole until the bag fits snuggly around the top of the basket. It takes just a second to do, and allows using any brand bag. When using Costco Kirkland bags, I discovered the Costco bags are slightly shorter than the height of the inner waste basket, so, to provide added support to the bottom of the plastic bag, I simply placed a small block of Styrofoam at the bottom of the waste basket to help support the bottom of the plastic bag when the bag's full and heavily weighted by trash. It wasn't necessary to do, but as I had a block of Styrofoam on hand, I placed it at the bottom of the waste basket to help support the heavy weight of full trash bags. Hope that helps!

Yes you can. We have a regular step-can trash can in our nursery and just put regular trash bags in it. I use these for the poopy diapers so they don't stink up the place. Helps cut down on odor a lot without having to get a fancy pail.

Interesting how our answers will vary! Height of the available storage area is 19", width 12" (that's space available inside the legs) and depth 8.25". If you can pivot the trash can, it'll fit, but the other person is right that 3" isn't very much space for your hand to insert something into the trash can. Nice piece of furniture though.

Probably not, unless its cut into quarters. The inside basket is about 2 1/4 inches tall and 8 1/4 inches wide. In the middle is a long plastic piece (looks like a jewelry ring holder) that sticks up in the center that prevents putting anything whole & large. As info, I would not purchase another.

We just use regular trash bags. It works just fine. The drawstring bags are the best. Easy to dispose of. Just make sure to get the sturdy ones, not the cheap ones that rip easily or you'll have a nasty mess to deal with. &lt;3

for a 21" height inside your cabinet door, I used 14" x 8 5/8", this left enough space for top of container to sit up enough to secure the trash bag. You can vary dimensions slightly to achieve correct depth so container has clearance on top and bottom if necessary.

If it is one of their baskets, it should say what size it needs. I am not sure how well these bags work with a random trash can; they seem like they are made specifically for their line of cans, and not worth getting for another brand.

Probably...just check the capacity. When I ordered it they were selling this size at Home Depot or Lowes. It's the best garbage can I've ever had.
