I like to keep the food in the bag it comes in and put that in the container. For 24-30 lb bags, would that work with the shape of this container?

Sorry for the delay. That might be too large for the container. You really don't need the bag. The food stays pretty air tight. I keep bird seed in it.

I use these for both cat food and dog food. Our cat food comes in 25lb bags. I think you *might* be able to put the bag in the container but the container is square and the bag is rectangle so it wouldn't be a great fit. This is one of the best containers I've come across and to be honest I think you'd be really happy to be able to get rid of your bag completely. These are air tight containers with a really nice seal, I don't see what purpose keeping the bag would be. These eliminate the 'bottom of the bag' issues we used to have. We started with one of these and now have 2 of these and several of the smaller styles which we use for different purposes. I use these for both cat food and dog food.

It wouldn't work with a 30 pound bag...don't know about smaller size. I just pour it in and twirl it shut.....love this product!

I empty the 30 lb bag into the container. There is about 8 inches left at the top. I don't think leaving it in the bag would work, since there is no room left in most bags to re-shape it, but I'm not certain.

I think if you left in bag would have to be adjusted quite a bit and would be bunched up because container is smaller at bottom.........I take mine out of bag.

I've never put a bag in it, but since it's a smaller bag, you can probably do that. (you may have to open the bag first so you can mold it to fit)

I think so as far as size but it would probably take both sides. I am not sure how it would hold up with the weight. The bags tore apart after awhile but the interior seemed to hold up. I don't have the unit anymore because it did not work the way I wanted so I can't check. I think my dog's 18 lb bag of food would fit on one side if that helps.

I just pour it in, otherwise it wouldn't fit all the food. It's supposed to be food grade plastic, so I think its safe enough.

I think you could get a 35 pound bag of dog food in it. You might consider putting the actual bag in it though, as I think just dumping it in there would cause a moisture problem. Great idea though!

The container seems to have a good seal to it, I think it would be OK. The container is clear and you could see what is in it at all times. I open the bags and then put it in, but I dont see what the difference would be, the bags are always open. I go through about a bag every 3 weeks, 35lbs

Leo, Yes, thats an easy fit. Mine container is 24" x 25" x 36" and it's "plenty" big with enough room to clip the the bag over the lip to hold it in place. These are great heavy weight bags.dug

I think you could make it work. When it came I believe the bag it was rolled into was already 75" wide and was rolled tightly length wise. With that being the case, I think it might be hard to open it in place (which would be ideal). It is pretty squishy, but like someone else said it is bulky and heavy. I think you could do it, but you will likely be cursing the whole time.

Much closer to 40 lbs then 20 lbs. In my opinion it depends how dense the food is. I put a 34 lb bag of Iams and there is room to spare.

I use mine to brine 5lb chickens so if the dog food is not much bigger than that it should also fit. The bags are air tight and relatively tough for plastic bags.

It will depend on the weight. I use it to get quick access to a extra stuff like a small rotisserie grill and such. It probably will do well if you put the containers roughly over the wheels, say two rows on each side and leave the center for lighter stuff

It's rather deep for regular size grocery bags from market..I use large kitchen bags...they work very well..I know they sell rubber bands for holding on to the rim...I never used those.I simply insert bag into liner and hold it wrapped around the top while reinserting liner..works well for me

I would assume it would. I buy a 25lb bag every month & there is some room to spare after emptying that into it. This is a good quality container, made in USA, which is hard to find these days.

I would guess that it would be, based on the 200g bags I have which are roughly twice the size. The dimensions they give in description are wrong, the bag is smaller than the size they quote (see the photo up of the product in the fridge to see size comparison next to food items.

We put fifty pounds of chicken food in the 32qt size. I think you should be safe with the 24 quart size. It would fit a bag of cat litter.

It may be a tight squeeze but it could work for a small amount of time. I use mine for my Scottish terrier who is about 25lbs. You probably couldn't put food and water in there with them.

Yes. I have my dogs food still I the bag stored inside the bin. I can put one full 30 lb bag and half of another.

I also bought the 67 pound one, and 50 pounds doesn't even fit into that, although it's close. The 40 pound bags for that size are perfect because there's plenty of room for the scoop, and it can still be closed tightly. Given that, the 55 quart would be too small for 50 pounds for sure. My last answer was incorrect... I thought I had the 55 quart container, but I don't. I am sorry about my mistake.
