Can I use the regular 13 gallon garbage bags with this trash can?

yes. 13 gal bags work well in this can. It even has a catch hole to tuck the bag in the liner so that it can be tight around the rim.

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. I use the 13 gallon ones for trash, and they usually have started to compost on their own before I even get them to the garbage. I don't bother using them to line my compost bin, though.

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.

If you could find a 9 or 10 gallon, that would work best. We use the 13 gallon but because the size of the compartments prevents totally filling the bag, there's always extra room when taking the bag out of the container. I usually empty the other household trash containers as well to help fill the bag.

i don't know about the 13 gallon bag. I use it for dog poop and when the poop bag contains snow/ice, it leaks out from the can.

the bags don't have a very wide mouth so I really doubt that you could use one for a 5.2 gallon trash can.they make some bigger bags but be careful because some of them are super thin.

We use a 13-gallon trash bag on both sides. We prefer not to spend the extra money on the SimpleHuman bags, so 13-gallong bags works just fine by twisting the tops and tucking them under.

You can, I actually use regular garbage bags, but the couple of bags that came with the bin were really more comfortable. I love the product and their 10 year garuantee I didn't think garbage bins lasted that long

Yes, we use the standard, tall 13 gallon bags - I think the brand is Glad - purchased at the local grocery store, probably a generic would work too - fits perfect for us.

Any standard size garbage bag will fit. Some will fit better than others. If the bag is too short to reach the full height of the container, it will just fill up faster. If the bag is oversized, you will waste some bag capacity. Unless you have a life-time supply of 13 gallon bags, the bag should not be of major consideration. You will be able to quickly discern what bag fits best.

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.

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!

This bag is for a 13 gallon can. Your can is about 8 gallons. Should work fine with a little extra room. I also have a 55 gallon can. I can stretch a 30 gallon bag into it with a little effort. I hope this has helped you in some small way. Good Day.

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.

Your bin is slender for its height. The bag will fit quite loosely but is certainly workable because of the height of the bin. (And your 8 gallon bin is too tall for the 8 gallon bags that fit shorter bins or large wastebaskets.)

Yes, I use a 13 gallon clear bag so I can include it in with our recycling.
