Default Litter bags?

My husband and I both have 2014 ES300 h's, which we absolutely love. I was wondering what everybody does for litter bags inside their cars. We like to keep our interiors pretty pristine and free of clutter, and the thought of a paper or plastic bag with used kleenex sprawled out on the floor just doesn't do much, aesthetically-speaking. I'd like to hear others' thoughts. Many thanks!

Whatever litter I accumulate on a drive, I toss as soon as I exit.

Congrats on the two ES's!

Ditto. I don't allow food or drink in the car since I find it a distraction to driving and a cleaning event waiting to happen. I wouldn't want used tissues left in my car no matter what kind of bag it was. maybe it's a guy thing.

I like to keep both my cars clean. I don't allow food or drink either, as for used tissue, mint wrappers, etc. I discard as soon as I stop.
I could never understand having a nice car and letting it get cluttered and dirty.

No food, no drink, no candy, no litter bags, and tissues go with the person that used them when they leave the car.

My wife found a packet of Glad or Hefty brand litter bags. They're in a small package about the size of a Kleenex travel pack. We keep them in the glove compartment to use as necessary, especially on trips. We toss them out when we stop for lunch, rest areas etc.

A tiny plastic rubbish bin with a plastic bin liner. Everything from apple peels to Red Bull cans to soiled diapers go in there and gets dumped out at the next petrol station I can't stand seeing crumpled tissues or receipts on the floor mats or stuffed into the door handle recesses.

If I remember correctly, my Generation 4 ES had a small clip/hook mounted on the left side of the front passenger foot well, and I believe that the purpose of that hook was as a place to hang a small litter bag. While I never used it, it seemed like a nice idea. I'll bet that, on the current generation ES, it would be easy to mount a similar hook close to the same location on the plastic trim. There are such hooks made by 3M (and others, I'm sure) that mount with double-faced tape and that can easily be removed without damaging the surface on which they are mounted.

Default Litter bag

Thanks for all the good replies, comments and suggestions. I think we will take the no-food, no-beverage, no-exceptions road. We don't want to have any "cleaning events!"
Thanks, everyone!

in 2 years I've have people in my backseat 3x... but even then, back seat passengers heads are a long way from the front seat. unless they are trying to tell you where to go.

I have the half round plastic type in the passenger footwell. I use it, and like it. only problem was finding a mounting place... I've had this style in last 3 cars. doesn't leak.

This car is my driver, I eat, drink and fart in it. :
