I feel like they won't be giving or selling you any of their bins. Also it would be just as easy to outsource their bins to your location with there men and make more money then to you. Why not try and get something like this going and START SMALL like many people have said. Start with pallet boxes and then get some fabricated when you can afford a flatbed and forklift and the metal. Start small think big.

I have that fealing also but thought i'd give it a shot anyhow. Worse they can do is ignore me or say no. I regards to where to start - I was only going to start with one bin. I'm fairly limited in what I can do. Yes I have a vehicle, but there isn't alot of square footage. The hhr isn't mine but I have alot of say on what happens with it. I can't mount a hitch until the thing gets paid off first. You and others may see it as excuses but those are my limitations. I can fit a box 60x29x29 in the back and then I'm out of any cargo space which is what I was going to do at first but cost of material will be a problem now that prices are down and gas is up. I'd prefer to make the thing out of CPVC because it's heat resistant, light, and won't fade in the sun plus they look halfway descent.

I may of missed something, but just what is the purpose of these bins?
Are they for businesses you contract with or just drop off bins for the public at large?
I ask as it make a BIG difference as to what type of bin would be required. I get the idea that your thinking on the later and plan on finding places to put your bins so the public at large can drop things in them. Hope it's the first option as the second is just asking for MANY problems and hidden unknown EXPENSE and $TRE$$.

No you're right - the plan was to place bins around town and let the public put their electronics in them so I could break them down and send steel where it goes an electronics to the members here on the board. Mind you I've not mentioned SMF anywhere in my plans or to anyone in case something happens.

Let me tell you right now nobody is going to tow off your steel bin... They may take the contents but they aren't going to go out of their way to take the whole bin or cut a side off to get a few hundred worth of stuff. Like has been stated put in well lit areas and put cheap cameras.

I had a feeling I was over analyzing things(as usual). I do have that intention of only putting them where there's light and installing a camera. I was also going to install a gps tracker in case the unit does go for a walk.


I'm still waiting to hear from town code enforcement in wither or not there's anything extra I need to do besides contacting the parking lot owner to ask for placement because to the best of my knowledge, code enforcement only has a stipulation(not here but in other counties and states) when it comes to clothing donation bins. I've also contacted USAgain to see if they'd share their process for placement and haven't heard anything back from them also.
