Do I need to buy special bags from Simplehuman or can I use any brand trash bag?

Hi! When you get the trash can it will come with the custom simplehuman size letter J, you get a few with the order, at least I did. It fits really perfect however I have been using the 13 gallon, any brand, it also fits good, no problem at all. I really like my purchase!

The inside of the can is trapezoidal, & they have their own bags made in that shape. I don't see why it would be essential to use them, though. I use mine as a recycling bin & have the same Simplehuman plastic bag (that came with it) in there for months.

Hi. I use standard bags with the drawstring tops. They work just fine. I am very happy with this can.

Yes, you can use different bags. I've used Arm and Hammer bags with the Diaper One N Done. But I prefer the bags that come with the One N Done -- they're not scented or colored, which I like. Refill bags are sold separately by the same seller as the One N Done.

Regular 13 gallon trash bags with drawstrings work great. Every brand I've tried has fitted the can well; some of them just need to be stretched a little to fit over the liner opening. The simple human bags fit the liner perfectly but are not needed; after trying them, I actually preferred my regular 13 gallon bags.

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.

I just use plastic bags from the supermarket. A little trickier - because they don't fit exactly. But they do the job, and I get to recycle all those bags!

Don't know. We just buy regular garbage bags in a package from the supermarket.

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.

You can use 13 gallon trash bags but it is a little struggle to get the top of the bag over the can. Simple human bags are made to fit perfectly but cost too much so I make do with the regular trash bags.

Yes you do. However, if you register at their site they will give you a $5 off coupon and if you have single stream recycling (like I do), you're not having to replace the bag all that often since you're dumping it into the bin. One bag lasts a week or more for us; which is significant since a vast majority of our "garbage" is recyclables.

I have used regular bags, but I ended up going back to the simple human bags because they are so much stronger and they fit inside perfectly and barely show from the outside of the can. But yes, you can use regular bags just fine to save $$$. I buy the big box of simple human bags off of Amazon and it seems to be cheaper than buying the smaller boxes at a retail store but it is still more $$ than just buying regular bags. By the way I love this trash can. I can't believe I spent the money on it that I did, but it was really worth it.

I have only used the food saver brand, so I can't answer to using any vacuum bag,

I use the brand name bags but it would probably work with the regular ones.

Yes you could use generic bags but they will most likely show. I have never used generic bags though so I'm just speculating.

Hi! I have tried with no luck purchasing other garbage bags. I have since purchased the simply human bags and have not looked back. To me it's worth the investment.

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.

I use Glad standard tall white trash bags...the ones with the drawstrings. They work just fine!

I use simplehuman bags for both sections and reuse them often . I empty bags at the recycling center and take them back because they fit so well. Just wash the bottles and dry them before putting them in a recycling bin. 2 packs of each size can last forever and it is not that much more expensive than generic store bag that would not fit that well.
