Is there any more information regarding what kind of plastic bags you can use for these recycling bins?

I've looked for this as well and haven't really found anything. I end up just putting the recyclables in the bins and then using blue bags from Giant Eagle (grocery store). It's a little more work for me but I don't mind. I've considered buying the large blue kitchen bags but considering I get blue ones for "free" at the grocery store; I just suck it up.

I use a large black plastic bag inside the recycle bin. When it's full I just grab out the trash bag and take it to the recycling center. I reuse the trash bag and they also don't recycle them here .

Here in Oregon they don't take plastic bags in the bi-weekly recycle collection. However, there's a recycle center nearby that takes them - all kinds of plastic bags - grocery, dept.store, etc. When the Suncast bin gets full, we dump them into a big black plastic bags and when that's full we take them to the recycling center. Apparently they sell them to China who recycle them. make things with them and then sell back to us! I don't know if your state handles things this way or not. We have a Recycling hotline and they told us about this. Check with yours, but we love this item. Good luck. Here in Oregon they don't take plastic bags in the bi-weekly recycle collection.

Yes you do. I use grocery plastic bags or you can purchase the ones that it is designed for. Litter maid does not use plastic bags. It uses plastic containers if you prefer

Regular plastic grocery bags will be too small for this trash can. For the smaller models they will work. They are not as neat as a simple human trash bags though.

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

Regular small garbage bags are perfect. Plastic grocery bags might work although they might be a little small. Certainly, you don't need *special* bags. :)

The best would be to find smaller than average sized bags. Although the waste bin is smaller than what most are used to I enjoy not having a garbage can in plain sight. We use traditional sized bags and fill the remainder of the bag with garbage from bathrooms when it's time to take out so it works out. Even though sometimes we don't use ALL of the space in our bag every time, it's a price I'm willing to pay, especially when we buy them in bulk from Home Depot

I also use plastic Home Depot or grocery bags. They are appx. 12"w x 14"h. Trash can bags get too heavy as others have said. Be careful not to loose the black clips that hold the bag on when removing. This scraper has been very helpful on several projects.

We don't use bags on ours. We just pop the bins out and take them out. However, you could use 13 gallon trash bags (will be too tall) or you could cut paper grocery bags to fit. Plastic grocery bags will be small but work too.

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.

Stealth, Hefty's 8 gallon twist ties' trash bags are durable and perfectly sized for this bin. They work pretty well. No worries of tears when it's time to empty out the container. You can purchase these bags at Amazon. Thanks for contacting me ;)

13 gallon bags work fine. No need to buy proprietary bags. One neat trick I found is to place the top or the trash bag over the outside container handles so that it holds the bag in place. This keeps the bag from slipping to the bottom of the trash can when placing heavy trash items in it and allows you to fill the bag completely.

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.

Any bags work, I used the gripper bags. However, I do not recommend this can. The mechanism that holds the top in place broke within months and it was no longer useable. Cheap construction. Went back to a normal trash can.

You can use regular plastic grocery bags if you like. I only used grocery bags. Made it easier to clean up everything.

I use standard kitchen trash bags. I'm not familiar with planet wise liners...

I'm not sure if there are specific bags. I use a large trash bag for the bin that holds the cans and bottles to keep from getting sticky.

I think it depends upon where you live. I'm not 100% sure (because I don't have any more on hand) but I think they are #6 type plastic which is recyclable in some cities.
