Do you think I could add a trash bag liner and use it as a camper trash can? This would be more eco-friendly than the one-time trash bins.

I believe you could and that is a great idea. Because they fold flat they will travel easy.

I see that others have answered this, some saying yes some saying no, but I just want to add that the nice thing about this trash can and the liners that are made for it is that you don't feel like you are wasting anything. Sometimes with regular trash bags, they start to smell and so you throw them out even though they are only half full. With this system, you cut off exactly as much bag as you need every time so there is never any wasted.Edit: my husband just reminded me that the point of the diaper can is to keep the smell in (and it does!!) so the point I was trying to make isn't that good. So on second thought, I think if you can get regular trash bags to hang correctly in this can, they will work well!

it's a little too small for a grocery bag. This is a trash container that's really suitable for a bathroom and, as such, is smaller. I would guess that it doesn't even come up to my knee or if so, barely! You can buy liners from SimpleHuman which fit perfectly. And here's the secret about that -- you don't need to change them every week! I just take my kitchen trash bag around to all my other trash cans in the house and I empty them in there and take the trash out. So, I keep the same lining in the trash can for a long time! It's not like we're throwing food away and (not to be too graphic), but we're two men, so no tampons and such go in there. it's a little too small for a grocery bag.

I don't think this would work well as a garbage can because the opening is small and it would be impossible to get the bag out once full.

I don't use it for compost. I use it as a wastebasket in the bathroom. The bag liners I use are the plastic bags you get at the grocery store. Not sure what size that is?!?

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

I cut 30 gal black garbage bags down the side and use as a liner -- much cheaper than commercial liners. And I don't know if there are commercial liners available of that size. Box works well in my home -- I removed the door for ease of use for my older (fat) cat.

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.

Actually, that sounds like a good idea. I'd place it into my garage, then cover it with a trash bag. The sides are tall enough to hold them without tipping over, but I'm not good at guessing how many rolls.

Yes you can. I've had several different Trashrac's over the years (this one has a few improvements), and I've always used the same bags. Darlene C.

see the main web page, click on " See more product details" for the dimensions. We use it as a kitchen garbage pail. It's a little low to the ground, but that's the trade off if you want to use recycled grocery bags. However, recycled grocery bags will also fit into the bigger round ones but we didn't want something tall.

Good question. I use a black trash bag, but one made like a grill cover would be nice.

Not very well. The can comes with a 5 pack of liners included which would give you a chance to try both kinds. I love the Simple human products. Nice heavy weight material less likely to tear and leak. Target bags are the only decent grocery bags to recycle

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.

Small wastebaskets could be put in it, I think. Or kitchen trash bags. But there's no good way to anchor those, to,ensure that they stay open at the top, unless you improvise something on the back and two sides of each section. Wastebaskets would have to be kind of narrow and wouldn't hold much ...

I have not tried that but if you put a plastic liner in there it definitely would work for you

I just used one I had that was on wheels. Mine was rectangular and a brown one. I think a round one would work just a little better as far as the bag fitting on the top of the trash can.
