    You don’t have to buy garbage bags, you can just put stuff in the bin unbagged.

    The heavier plastic bags do contain more plastic which I guess is arguably worse but they get reused and don’t get picked up by a slight breeze and wafted into the nearest waterway.

      That’s gross. You wouldn’t do that with your kitchen trash can, I don’t know why you’d suggest it in the bathroom.

        Depends on your collection service. If they don’t specify bagged waste you can just hose the bin out as needed. A tiny bit of extra work to avoid needless plastic in the environment.
