do standard 13 gal tall kitchen bags work in this trashcan, or must you purchase 10.5 gal bags from simplehuman?

The standard bags will work but they are a few inches short. the company bags are more expensive so just use 13 gallon bags.

13 gallon kitchen bags will work. The simple human bags for this trash can are 12 gallon.

I bought the "M" size that fits the can. It fits PERFECTLY. I recommend the simple human ones but probably a 13 gal would work in a pinch.

Yes, I use hefty black out 13 gallon tall bags (the hole in the bin is specifically there to push the excess bag in). I prefer this type of bag over their G bag. When I remove the 13 gal. bag there is extra room to put in more items. If you are like me, when you finally decide to empty the trash it is because you have something that won't fit. I also find that removing any bag from this can when full can be a bit of a pain, because there aren't any air holes at the bottom. I contacted Simplehuman and asked if I could drill holes in the bottom of the removable bin to aid in removal of the bag (without voiding my warranty). The answer was yes, (4) 1/4" really really helped. Yes, I use hefty black out 13 gallon tall bags (the hole in the bin is specifically there to push the excess bag in).

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.

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

It is too short if you use 13 gallon, even 20something size is not reach bottom of trash can then it would be fall in can and mess up inside. I use 33 gallon size(33inx40in) clean trash bags for this product. It is actually 70% full when trash can looks full but I can tie up and pull it out easily. You could find this bags from restaurant depot or some wholesale store.

I use a 13-gallon tall kitchen bag in one and a clear plastic recycle bag in the other.

9-10 gal bags would be best, but I use 13 gal bags and they work fine, just have to tuck them under a little! I love the garbage can, especially if you have garbage picking dogs, it scares them away w the automated lid! Lol

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

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.

We use the standard 13 gallon bags from Sam's Club. They are a little tight around the top, but they work and you don't have go around finding special sized bags.

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.

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.

A 13 gallon bag becomes too big for it, but I use it anyway. Its a decent trash can for office room

Not sure what was recommended for this product but I buy 13 gallon trash bags and they fit nicely. I dump the trash every other day and I've never had a problem.

13 gallon bags work fine. No need to buy proprietary bags. One neat trick I found is to place the top or the trash bag over the outside container handles so that it holds the bag in place. This keeps the bag from slipping to the bottom of the trash can when placing heavy trash items in it and allows you to fill the bag completely.

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 tall kitchen trash bags from Sam's Club. I think they're 13 gal size. We don't use a bag for the recycling side because we have to sort our recycling. I hope that's helpful. I really love this trash can/recycle combo!
