Has anyone found cheaper alternative trash bags that fit this can well instead of Simple Human ones?

We decided to use the SImple Human bags that fit this can and are very happy with them. You can save a bit by using Subscribe & Save, but basically we concluded that it was worth the money to have bags that securely fit.

Hi DianaqiI use a large bag first as a protection for the black inside bin. I only occasionally change this bag. . This way I virtually never have to clean the bin base. I then use ordinary supermarket bags ( I live in Australia ) and they fit easily. If you tuck the handles around first before you slip the bin in there it's no problem. I have also used plastic bags that come in a roll from the supermarket. They are cheap and come in various sizes. I hope you can follow this. I tried but couldn't attach a photo. Good luck.

I returned mine. Too small for kitchen trash. I thought bags were on expensive side

When using the recommended Simple Human "M" garbage bags, they are completely hidden. Other generic bags could be hidden as well as the can has an internal trash can that the bag fits on.

I have never bought trash bags. I have always used the supermarket and department store bags for this purpose......way cheaper and they fit perfectly!

Simple human bags are excellent quality and fit. Other bags work no problem, not messy just not quite as good.

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.

We have been using trash compactor bags. They are thicker and work great, except you have to position them with a little more finesse. But, it's worth the effort. We put our shreddings out with the regular recycling pickup.

No, those would be too wide and tall. It comes with custom bags from simplehuman that fit the can perfectly. I believe the average plastic grocery bag would work however.

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 name brand 13 gallon bags with this trash can with no problem (there's a link in my review). In addition, you can purchase black bags which look much better with this model than the custom white bags.

The 6-mil bags which come with the unit are really expensive. Here's a thread from the Sawmill Creek forum on replacement alternatives: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?135999-Plastic-bottom-bags-for-Delta-50-760

I use a ten gallon trash bag any brand so I can tuck the extra plastic around. I think it works perfectly. I have not used an 8 gallon bag yet.

This can has a removable inner bin that takes the liner. SimpleHuman liners (expensive) are specifically shaped for their bin. 13 gal standard kitchen trash bags will fit the bin and any excess as they are drawn tight to the bin can be inserted through a hole provided for this purpose at the back top of the inner bin. This is hardly any additional work. Just look for bags at least 1mil or thicker.

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.

Probably but I save $$ by just using the plastic shopping bags given by the supermarkets and by not purchasing garbage bags at all. Any plastic bag with side handles will work as you fold the bag over the top and the side handles hook around the structure to keep it in place. We love ours as we have a trash chute in our bldg where we need to keep our bags of waste to a minimum- and the contraption conceals nicely under our sink cabinet. Highly recommended!!

I recycle plastic grocery bags. If I had to buy something to fit, I would use any kind of small but durable trash bag.

13 gallon kitchen bags will work. The simple human bags for this trash can are 12 gallon.
