Do your trash cans take standard kitchen trash bags from the grocery store?
Yes, they are designed to work with standard trash bags as well as simplehuman sure-fit liners. A standard tall kitchen bag will fit most of our kitchen size cans. Our kitchen cans have a removable bucket that fits into an exterior frame, so excess bag can be gathered together and tucked away. Some cans also feature a bag tuck opening for even more seamless fit.

I purchased the sure-fit liners and noticed there are holes on the top. What is the purpose of these holes?
The holes in the liners are designed to release trapped air that results when a new bag is put into a can. The holes eliminate the bulging effect caused by trapped air, therefore maximizing the total capacity of each bag. The bag will not tear or rip from these strategically placed holes; in fact, the bag is less likely to rip because there is no bulging and no need to force items to fit in the bag.
