Hefty 12.3gal Slim Step Trash Can with Locking Lid Black: Large Kitchen Garbage Can, Pedal-Operated, Removable Lid

A: Hello Emma - This Hefty trash can was designed to be used with any 13 gallon tall kitchen trash bag.

A: 13 gallon trash bag does not fit to this trash can. I have to use 30 gallon trash bag to fit this one. Even 20 gallon did not fit.

A: As one answer said, the 13 gallon tall kitchen bags fit perfect. You MUST use the two notches at the back, then it will fit over the front lip. This keeps it from getting stuck in the hinge of the lid. Orient the bag correctly, use the notches at the back, and a 13 gallon tall kitchen bag fits just perfect.

A: If someone is struggling to use a typical 13 gallon trash bag, there is a good chance that they are not putting it in correctly. There are two notches on the top rim of the trashcan close to hinge. Hitch the liner to one notch. Then fold it over the rim of the can. Lastly hitch the liner to the other notch. It will be held tight and fits perfectly. Also, since the trashcan has the narrow sides on the front and back you will want the seems of the trash bag facing the front and back of the can. The first time I put the liner in, I did not see the notches for a minute. If you tried to fit the bag over the entire rim of the can or turned it 90 degrees orienting the seams toward the sides, it would not fit. The can is well designed and the liner fits snuggly when you use the notches. Great design for a can at this price!

A: This item should keep out majority of odors with the locking lid, but it is not guaranteed. Thank you.
