It works okay, so long as you don't overstuff the bags with too much weight. As inexpensive and clever as the design was, the production material of the item broke easily at the joint between the clips and the stems, sadly making more material for landfill in and of itself.

And I agree that the clothes pins won't hold up much weight even if they are industrial strength - just slip or rip! Ya I don’t see the need beyond it looking different than other trash cans.

As long as trash is produced, the way you send it away is really the least of the problems. If you use plastic bags to put the trash, you're also sending more non-biodegradable plastic to the trash, if you put it directly in the bin, you'll have to wash it later, and use clean water which will get dirty before it goes to the rivers. If you produce trash, you disgrace the planet, that's it. What should be done is recycling all glass, metal, paper and plastic, and using all food waste to produce fertilizer or something like that. Arguing over using or not plastic bags to send your trash away is pointless. You know, I’ll go further and say: The only solution for trash, is not producing any.
