Bin liners big enough yeah but not rubble sacks.
Don't think the dumps like rubble sacks anyway. They used to make people empty black rubble sacks and place in bin at our tip. I just get our wheelie washed every month.
Neighbour uses the massive bin liners though

Wheelie bin liner, Pack of 20 | DIY at B&Q
Ideal for wheelie bins, these black plastic wheelie bin liners with flush top are suitable for use in bins up to 240 litres in capacity. They come in a pack of 20

The other half once purchased some wheelie bin liner bags from ASDA, in error- we don't have a wheelie bin. We tried to use them in our regular bin but they are so thin that they split when lifting them out.
We binned them...
I find the wheelie bin liners are rather too short for the bins, fold the tops over the outside and as soon as you put anything inside they pull down. I bolted some alloy covered polystyrene panels inside the bins, to reduce the depth. I also added a length of string round the rim, tensioned by a spring, under which to fit the bag top edge.

If you get a rubble bag into a wheelie bin, and fill it, how do you get it out?
you could fold a bulk delivery bag to fit but it will weigh a lot

Wheelie bins are 240 lt so these 300lt should fit. Reviews seem to think so.

Those are what I buy. It's not the diameter which is a problem, it's the height - if they were just a few inches taller they would fix over the lip and stay put.

Why do you want to add more plastic to what's going in your wheelie bin?
Have you not seen what we are doing to our environment with all the plastic we waste?
Simply get your bin washed every now and then, forget filling it with a liner.

You say hippobag, so are you after a heavy duty reusable sack?
If so, you get ones called "barrow bags", it's like a mini ton bag, the shape of a wheelie bin

It keeps the bin cleaner inside for longer and because the liner remains attached to the bin, the same bin liner lasts for months. Others pay for a wheelie bin cleaning service to drive along behind the bin wagon - that is much worse for the environment.
If your bin stinks you're throwing too much food away. As for bin cleaning services- ffs. Mind, I suppose I speak from a place of privilege (a garden with room for the wheelie bins well out of the way so I don't have to walk past them every day)

All three of my bins are tucked away out of sight in a bin store I built for the purpose, or rather repurposed. There is no smell from them.
When I have need to get the pressure washer out, I use that on the bins too.
