Could I take the lid off and just use it as an open trash can? Do you think the bag would stay in place?

I guess it would work. I turned the eye around so when my cats walk by it doesn't freak them out.

I would say so. The bag is quite large itself. You *may need to squeeze some of the air out, although I think it unlikely. Just make sure to use extra tape to secure the closure, as it is easy to reopen on its own (adhesive is not very strong)

I think that would be too big. We use Stop & Shop tall kitchen bag (13 gallon) with drawstring. You slightly stretch the opening of the bag and wrap the edge of the trash can's opening. The bottom of the bag doesn't completely touch the bottom of the can, but the bag attaches to the can's opening tight enough so that it won't fall inside unless you intentionally throw extremely heavy items down into the can. We use the can for recyclables (cans, bottles,boxes, etc.).

The hinge for the lid would prevent the bag from draping all the way around. It might not be a problem though. You might be able to put the bag on with the lid off and then slide the hinge in place. I really like having the hinged lid, Othewise a lid would be sitting on the counter taking up space while you are filling the bin.

The lid will stay open vertically if you tighten the bolts that hold it. The bags are easily to get to if the lid is open or closed - easier if open.

No.... The bag is for cargo only, and is part of the trailer, not for storage.... To be quite honest with you, it looked far better in the waste bin than it did on the trailer....

it's pretty heavy duty and since it has no lid, I'm not sure how I / you would like it not being able to be sealed after the garbage is in it before you empty it. I actually think something with a lid would do better. Plus, since it's so narrow, a lot of things may not fit in it - kinda depends on how you sort your trash. If you did use it as a kitchen can, you'd want to put some type of plastic trash bag in it as a liner.

I don't find removing the bag difficult. There is plastic insert inside the trash bin fits snugly, however, so the bag sits tight. There are two little indentations where you use to lift this insert and remove the bag. This trash can is terrific!

I would say it most likely would. However, you would need to affix it to the inside of the trash can lid so it was not in contact with the trash. It also would work better if the lid was kept closed.

The hinge on the back might get in the way but you could use a standard grocery bag with enough overlap that it would probably work. It was not designed to be used with a bag but it would probably work.

No, this is not an option with this can. They sell similarly shaped cans with lids, though. The purpose of this can is to always stand open. I use it as my laundry hamper. It is perfect. Holds a standard laundry bag under the lid. I wan another for my kitchen, it is very heavy duty and heavy, won't get knocked over or dinged easily, I can tell you that....

Sure you can. The lid has smooth edges and can be placed back on top of the can. It fits snug but of course it is not truly sealed.

The top opens and inside looks like a regular trash can. There is a lip on the inside that allows you to fold the edges of a regular trash bag over so that the bag does not move or slide down. Just change the bag as frequently as you see fit. It would seem that if you are creative and want to save money then this is the way to go.

Yes, you can very easily lock the lid in the open position and pull out the inner can to change the bag.

Yes, tho not like air or water tight, so I'd not leave it knocked over long or kick it around, but it doesn't leak or spill with a bag in it if bumped or knocked over.

sorry, don't know the answer to that. I would thing that you could maybe use a trash can? As long as it's the same size opening, it should be ok?

Yes, the plastic bag would never fit on the rim of the can.. the bag is quite smaller.
