Can you use a plastic bag as an interior liner on these? I am used to using bags and then bringing recycling to street.

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.

Yes you can. I use tall kitchen bags and they work very well. They don't stretch all the way over the rim, but you don't need them to... just center it around the flap opening. You can completely fill up the bin/bag with no problem using this system, and it keeps the bins nice and clean.

I use these for exactly that reason, in exactly the way you describe. I line them with clear trash bags, and the weight of the lid holds the bag in place so I can open the "flap" and throw my recycling in no problem. Then, when it's time to take them to the curb, I just slide the trash bag out with all of its contents.

You can, they will "fit", but they won't reach the bottom. But I suppose it would work in theory, just not with any heavy items. I would highly recommend using 2.6-3.2 Gallon trash bags, though.

Must one use the "vacuum bags" inside the fabric bag or can you use it "as is?"

These liners aren't compostable (have not found any that are) but the diapers we use are so we leave the bag untied when we throw it away so that the diapers will compost in the landfill. if you tie up both ends then they won't compost in the bag the same with O2 and be a time capsule of stank for generations to come

Yes, you could re-use them the same as you would for regular zip-loc bags. But keep in mind, as in my previous review as well as others, these bags do not seal well. I am constantly having to go back and pump air out of them. They are a made from a different material also that causes a lot of static and causes dry foods, spices extra to get caught up into the zip seal.

Not sure what you mean by "liner." There's a can inside that takes a standard (USA) 13 gallon garbage bag. Remove. The 'current' bag & toss. Replace w/ a new bag... it's a trash can! :-)

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.

I didn't see anything on the paper indicating that we can. All I could find was liners. Sorry :-(

I wouldn't reuse them and I also didn't put them in my compost pile. When I put the food waste in my compost pile, then I just burn the used bag. I have found that regardless of what they say, they don't break down very readily. I don't buy more bags, I just use the plastic bags from.Walmart and the grocery stores. You can cut the handles of the bag then tie each of the ends together and tuck down into the sides of the bin. Other than that, I really like the bin. Hope that helps as, like you, I did n't want to keep BUYING the bags.

we stopped trying to use liners to put inside; they fit awkwardly if you you go up or down a size, and the larger sized bags would never quite fill up. Instead we used this for broken down boxes, and recycled papers that were not shredded which did not require a bag. We use our larger recycle bin for plastics and cans. I'm sure that's not the answer you're looking for, but once it was purchased we wanted to make the best use for it as possible.

I have a model with a reusable bag. You just unzip and dump into9 a plastic trash/leaf bag. There are reusable bags but the cost would be prohibitive, IMO.CORRECTION: I meant disposable bags.

It could be lined with a plastic bag but I don't bc I generally use it for paper type or non messy trash.

Absolutely, or use much less expensive small 'vanity sized' liners from the grocery store. In fact, the inside comes right out for cleaning, so I don't even use a liner. It is a really nice, well made can.

yes, i have used kitchen trash bags. also, i have used the plastic grocery bags. just double them.

I personally use a supermarket plastic bag. It is too small to justify using a commercial trash bag

No you can't, they have a special place to seal. They are extremely durable & I put things in a cheap baggie and then in the heavy duty re-seal bags from Waring, sounds counter-intuitive, but they wash out easier. I have yet to order additional bags. They wash out very well and last.

I never tried using liners with this product. Sorry i couldnt answer your question.
