    Thank you for this tip! It’s always so frustrating when the kids (and husband *rolls eyes*) miss the bag because it has slouched inside the bin, and later you’re forced to pick up the dropouts, some of which are wet and icky.

    This is a good idea and I would use it if my kitchen garbage bags did not fit snugly over the edge of the garbage can so that they don’t fall down.

    An easier and cheaper way is cut the top of a pantyhose at the waistband to make it like a large rubber band. Wrap it around the garbage bag and you never have to worry about it again. I have one that I’ve been using for years.
