Good Idea, but those things are a pain in the but to empty when they are heavy. I have had to empty a lot of those fully loaded at a horse stable full of trash, heavy as hell to lift into the dumpster.

Those blue barrels are heavy if you fill them to the top. I took one and cut 1/3 off the top. Now, even when full, I can pick it up and get it in the back of the truck.

I love blue barrels I get them for free when they have sulfuric acid in them, then I have to neutralize the remaining it is not fun work. I drill holes and tie rope handles into the sides then I have what I call a "fat person lift" I dumpster dove out of the medical supply dumpster it has a 600lb capacity for I guess moving people?. I put it through the handles and jack the blue barrels into the bed of my truck. Wham bam!
