Can a paper grocery bag be used as the bag?

I would not recommend this for standard paper grocery size bags as the bag would be too tall. The lid fits pretty snugly so I don't believe the thickness of a paper bag would fit under the rim, and certainly not if folded down (doubled) to fit the height of the can.

Probably not. The bags are too tall and I think also too wide. Won't fold over properly to slide into the outer basket. I think the paper is too thick overall. Unfortunately I have this basket in the country and can't test it for you, but my sense is that the dimensions are a bit wrong.

No, a standard paper grocery bag will not fit or work. Although, you may be able to try recycling a standard plastic grocery bag. My thought is, since simplehuman sells a custom plastic bag that "fits perfectly" with the 2.6 gal can, using their bags is preferred. The smallest conventional consumer trash bag is 4 gal.The beauty of the can is the lid will hide the excess material.

yes, you can use a grocery bag: it isn't a perfect fit (and it will limit the capacity you could otherwise get, bc grocery bags hold less than this can does) but it works

It would be a bit too big, maybe if you crushed it some. Plastic grocery bags fit easily.

I would think not. They work very well with large black plastic garbage bags (not kitchen sized bags), but I wouldn't try them with paper bags.

It is big enough to put small plastic bags in it. We use it for used paper towels in our bathroom. I would not recommend putting large grocery bags in it.

in some states they are banning plastic bags in the beginning of the year. the stores that i go to you can use any bag it does not matter what bags there are i have used my bags this month for my grocery shopping and they do help you can put a little bit or a lot in each bag and if someone bags your food and misc you can tell them to load it up a lot or just a little bit of weight i hope this will help you out

I've not used a bag with it. I suppose some small trash bags would be adequate. Paper isn't heavy. I just run the shredder and when the bucket is full I dump it into plastic grocery bags.

Probably, But it would require some modification to the platform that you would set your grocery bags on. I am not very handy so probably wouldn't attempt it. I am sure a reasonably handy person could do it.

You may be able to, but it is primarily for mats and foam core. I fave never tried paper.

Not designed for paper, unless you have paper bags that stretch like plastic.

If the paper bag is white, then yes. If the bag is the brown sandwich bag type then no.

If you are thinking VERY light shirt/pants, it might be doable. I would say the total size of the bag is about the size of a regular grocery bag.

Yes. You can use either the black bag or the disposable bag. Switching between the two is easy.

If you fold and glue it maybe but it would probably be cheaper to just buy paper bags

I just tried one in the wastebasket and a plastic grocery sack fits very well with the top of the bag at the top of the wastebasket and the handles hanging over each end. Hope this helps.

A 10x10x7 paper grocery bag will just fit into it. Plastic grocery bags fit quite well.

Sorry, I haven't tried that so I don't know. I suppose you could, but you would have to make sure the bag didn't hang over the sides of the basket because I don't think you would be able to get it to slide under the shredder part if the bag hung over the sides. It's an interesting idea though. Never thought of that.

I don't use a bag because it's so easy to wipe clean and it's used in the bathroom. But a plastic grocery bag would work nicely.

Yeah, I think so. They're both approximately stuffed-reusable-grocery-bag size, but if you had a backpack that stuck out the top, it would still work. And then you could put something across the top and bungee it down, and have even more. Definitely. That's what I plan on doing with these eventually.
