Are the plastic bags reuseable? Can one use the black garbage bags?

The bags that come with it, can be used over... have used mine three time's so far with no problems. Don't know about the black garbage bags..

The bags are reusable. They give you bags to start out with. One bag is for leaves and larger things and one for much smaller items like sand. It's not a bad idea to buy a couple more just for getting your pool up and running at first. Use the mesh bags first then the fine bags to finish it off.

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 .

No, you cannot use a garbage bag. I tried once out of curiosity and it is not strong enough. JET bags last a long time. I don't let them get too full and heavy before emptying them, so I use the same bag many times.

No, you can use any garbage bag. I have actually been using grocery store plastic bags in the smaller section. They work well because you can tuck them under the removable container. I use the bigger section without a bag for recycables because I always have more recycling than garbage.

They are not reusable. You will "break" the frozen cubes out of the bag. They are great. Protects ice from contamination, therefore excellent for camping.

I save the dog food bags and use them for the poops. They are plenty big and that way they have another use since most can't be recycled.

Yes, but take the individual pieces apart. Don't try to wash the black and green bags at the same time (too heavy for most machines). You will need a large-capacity washer to do it. Do not tumble dry - just hang it up to drip-dry. It's nylon/polyester so it'll dry overnight (more or less).

I use Trader Joe bags when I go to Wegman's or Gerrity's...I have used other no name reusable bags in several stores. I see no reason why you could not use this bag anywhere...the idea is to reuse...I have never been told you have to use a certain store's bags. Hope that helps.

No, the bags are not reusable. However, if you wrap individual portions and then place them in the bag, you can remove portions and reseal the bag.

No, they are reusable. However, they will need to be thoroughly cleansed after each use (salt build up and grime).

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.

They are not designed to be reused. They are meant to be one-time-use and disposed of. You can clean them out if you want... But I would not. There is no real way to effectively dry them out due to the small opening. When we used them we just threw them away and it was still cheeper than the store bought ones. I hope that this helps.

No, we use the same bags as with our previous trash can and they work perfect in my opinion. They stay hidden and fill to the full amount that the can allows.

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 they are reusable. The problem is they each come in two separate parts & the foam part pops in to the hard plastic part & when you slide a heavy piece of furiture on them they come apart.
