What do you use in bathroom trashcans?

Lurker here with an EFF question.

I've used reusable grocery bags for a long time and love them, however every once in a while I get plastic bags from the store b/c I use those bags in the bathroom trashcans and to pick up dog poop. What else could I use for those purposes that's more EF than a plastic bag that will be around for a billion years?

Thanks!

    I don't use a trash bag in our bathroom trash cans at all. I just dump it into our kitchen trash (which is the only trash bag I have in the house). The trashcans in the bedrooms, laundry room and DS's room all dump into there. No extra bags.

    I use whatever bag we have.  Right now, it has a plastic bag from the ginormous pack of toilet paper in it.  When I lived alone, I didn't have a bag at all, but with DH...I have to have a bag.  He produces too much nastiness & tiny little hairs that get everywhere.

    I always end up with a plastic shopping bag here or there so if I have that I use it.  I also use the plastic package from the toilet paper.  I dump the can though into a bigger trash bag on trash day so the liner gets reused several times.  The can must have a liner though or it gets nasty.

     For animal poops, bread bags and cereal bags are good because they can't be recycled.

    If I use anything at all, I use the plastic grocery bags, but also just dump them into a larger kitchen trash bag, so the bag gets used a lot. I just bought fabric shopping bags today when I went to the grocery store.

    i don't use a bag in the bathroom either.

    for dog poop on walks, i use some biodegradable corn bags (thank you, hula!) and toss them in the woods.?
