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.

Why not make/find something that sits on the bottom of your
trash container, sufficiently high to keep the bag at the
level you want. Perhaps a piece of firewood, or the right
size cardboard box, or something like that would do the
trick.

A big-ass rubber band around the outside is how janitors do it. Keeps them
from having to scrub the cans unless the liner gets a hole in it. Whatever
local big-box that sells commercial-style janitor supplies probably has them
in the same aisle with the bags.

Hi,
We use spring clip to keep the bag in place.
