drill a small hole near the base of your kitchen bin inner container. It will make yanking the binbag out a squillion times easier because there won't be any suction from the gap between the bottom of the bin and the bag.

should your bin leak baked beans or gravy, the carpet underneath is fooked.
maybe stick your bin with a hole in, into a bigger bin.
problem solved.

you could utilise the same effect swordsmiths go for when they put a groove down the blade, to let air back in, lay a smooth stick down the side of the bin to stop the liner sticking to the bin all the way around and making the seal. One could get fancy and use a rope, chain, hose, bunch of figurines, taxidermied albatross, etc.
You could also just put the hole a little bit to up the side of the bin, so it'll still hold liquid.

A short length of garden hose glued in the bin and sticking out the top would be excellent... but better still, dig out that old air compressor from the garage, and pop the hose from that down the side of the binbag... then turn it on... No need to worry about suction between the bag and the bin... no need to strain lifting the heavy bag out the bin... and possibly no need to worry about baked bean & gravy stains on your carpet anymore. (Walls and ceilings *may* be a different issue?)

That way, you won't have to worry about the foetid bilge that inevitably builds up at the bottom of a kitchen bin in the liner?
