This is supposed to be a repair newsgroup. It should demand
workman like ways of repairing and fixing stuff.

How about slitting the appropriate length of old garden
hose/automotive hose/ armoflex tubing and trapping the trash bag
on the rolled edge of the trash can?

It really does work well.

I use the empty plastic grocery bags to dump my every day garbage
out. I use about one a day. So, it's not a big hassle
disposing. A couple months ago my sister bought me a kitchen
sized trash basket. She also gave me some large plastic kitchen
bags to go with it. I have to admit there was some added
convenience. However, I don't like putting the swinging cover on
top. So, the bag would keep sliding down every time I put in
something too heavy. The bags were made so the tops could be tied
together.

When it came time to buying new bags I thought that this was too
much aggravation. So, I'm back to using the small grocery bags
in the smaller container. I would like to go back to using the
larger bags, but don't want the aggravation. Any work-arounds
besides using the swinging top lid to solve this problem. I
couldn't find any bags that were just a little bit longer. The
next size is barrel sized.
