This was my first thought on seeing the title as well. My entire life I and every family member I can think of has used plastic grocery bags for our little bathroom trash cans. I don’t even know what the options are for “real” bags of that size, having never shopped for them. Time to learn, I guess.

That said, this could still reduce my plastic use. The old, thin bags were sufficient. The new, thick bags have been overkill since day one. Given that the frequency with which I take out the trash didn’t change when the thin bags were banned, I’m sure I use quite a bit more plastic than before the ban. Maybe bags sold for small trash cans are thinner, and I’ll go back to pre-ban levels of use.
