That's a great question! For most standard kitchen trash cans, the classic 13-gallon drawstring garbage bag is the go-to choice. It's all about the fit. A liner designed for a 13-gallon can will snugly fit the typical dimensions, preventing it from slipping down inside. Look for bags labeled "Standard Drawstring" or "Tall Kitchen." The drawstring is key—it makes tying and carrying the full bag much easier and cleaner.
Material matters too. I prefer bags that are a bit thicker to resist tears and leaks, especially for kitchen waste. Some have added leak-proof barriers or scents, which are helpful. The best liner is one that fits your specific can perfectly, so measure your can's height and width if you're unsure. A bag that's too small is frustrating, and one that's too large is wasteful. Stick with the standard 13-gallon size, and you'll likely have a perfect match for a cleaner, more efficient trash system.
