i have a standard 5 gallon bucket from the local, big named hardware store and these bags are a chore to fit in there. you really gotta wrestle them around the rim, so i don't bother anymore. just leave the edges straight up. hard to clean out, but the hash is worth the struggle. i washed first 4 ounces of trim and paid for the bags in one run. just make sure you clean them immediately and let them dry out. overall, solid investment.See full review
