Question 1

Can I recycle the product packaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the cardboard outer box is recyclable curbside. The inner plastic bag wrap (if any) should be taken to a plastic film recycling drop-off, but most buyers find the box is mostly cardboard.

Question 2

Are these bags too small for outdoor trash can use?

Accepted Answer

For a single 9-12 gallon outdoor bucket or a small patio bin, they work great. They're not meant for 30-gallon curbside cans—that's already the maximum capacity, and overfilling will break the drawstring.

Question 3

Do these bags work with a simplehuman trash can that has a 'trash bag cinch'?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many simplehuman cans have a built-in bag cinch or a rim that holds the bag. Code K bags are designed to work with those features. The extra-tight fit ensures the cinch can actually grip the bag without it sliding off.

Question 4

Can I use these bags with a 13-gallon (49L) simplehuman can?

Accepted Answer

No. A 13-gallon can typically requires Code L (50-60L). Code K is 35-45L. Using a too-small bag will cause it to tear under the weight and leave the top edge exposed, defeating the purpose. Stick to the code printed on your can.

Question 5

Is the 100-count pack really the same as four 25-count rolls?

Accepted Answer

It's a single dispenser box with 100 bags folded together. It's not individually rolled, which makes storage and dispensing easier. Some people note that removing one bag at a time requires a bit of practice, but once you find the seam, it's straightforward.

Question 6

I have an older simplehuman can—how do I know if I need Code K?

Accepted Answer

Look for the molded label inside the can, usually on the back interior wall or under the lid. It will list a 'code' (e.g., Code K, Code L, etc.). If there's no label, measure your can's capacity. Code K fits 35-45 liters (9-12 US gallons). If yours is within that range and the opening is about 11-13" x 8-10", it's almost certainly Code K.

Question 7

Are they fragrance-free? I'm sensitive to trash bag scents.

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are completely unscented. That's a major selling point for many customers. If you need odor control, consider adding a baking soda pouch or simplehuman's deodorizer, but the bag itself won't add any fragrance.

Question 8

Do these bags fit simplehuman's stainless steel bins from 2015?

Accepted Answer

If that model takes 'Code K' liners, yes. simplehuman has kept liner codes consistent across most models since 2010. Check the compliance label inside the can. If it says 'Use Code K', you're good.
