Yes, you do need to use specialized heavy-duty trash bags specifically engineered for trash compactors rather than standard thin plastic kitchen garbage bags. Compactor bags are constructed from multi-ply, puncture-resistant, heavy-gauge plastic materials designed to withstand intense mechanical pressure—often exerting over two thousand pounds of crushing force—without ripping, tearing, or splitting open. Using standard grocery store trash bags in a compactor will almost certainly result in catastrophic bag failure, spilling compressed garbage throughout the internal carriage and creating a difficult mess to clean.
