Those ten and twenty gallon trash cans are just awkward enough that, when emptying them into the big bin on the curb, they frequently fall in and get totally gross falling on dog poo, etc. Trying to fish out the stuff wedged in the bottom is awkward too with one arm wrapped around can while second arm
scrabbles about inside. Since these small trashcans have a recessed bottom there's room for the addition of a folding wire handle, so let's do it! Hang onto bottom handle, shake can out and when returned to floor the handle folds neatly beneath so can won't rock.

Yes, Yeser and yestest.
Try dumping a garbage can full of tile scraps into a six foot tall dumpster without losing the can. |
|
| |
Lame down-vote. This is one of those 'how did I not think of that' ideas. |
|
| |
"It will be baked."
"...and then there will be cake." |
|
| |
21, trash not garbage I think. |
|
| |
I just might take the 55gal drum we use as a trash can, at work, over to the service section and bake this. If I had a dollar for every time I had to fish that damn thing back out of the dumpster I would probably have about $20.00. |
|
| |
I likes it and bunned it, but will point out that the bottom handle may get a bit manky if the ground and floor are squishy (but still worth it). |
|
| |
If you get the kind with wheels, some models have a thin
metal axle that serves this purpose. |
|
| |
[MikeD] I don't think that "if I had a dollar" expression has the same value when referring to things you get paid to do at work. |
|
| |
[+] excellent idea!
(needs better category) Product:Design |
|
| |
*awaits the explanation of the deliniation between trash and garbage.* |
|
| |
OMG. Such a simple idea, and yet no one's thought of it yet |
|
| |
I wish that that was my bone up above (methinks it bears all the hallmarks of the autoboner). The only reason I (would've) boned this; is it is far too sensible, practicable and obvious. The halfbakery, by its very nature, does not need this kind of input and, as a gentle aside, I am insanely jealous. [+] |
|
| |
If it is going to be a handle, it might as well be a set of handlebars salvaged from an old dirtbike. And then you'll be needing a bell. |
|
| |
garbage = more organic ewwwwwww stuff than trash. |
|
| |
My pop cuts the tops out of plastic chemical
barrels to use as garbage cans. If you drill a hole
on each side close to the bottom, you can thread
a couple of ropes through there and tie a knot in
them so they won't pull out. This makes it really
easy for two guys to load the cans into a truck
bed, especially if one guy is standing in the truck. |
|
| |
It also makes it really easy for two guys to dump
the cans. Just dump it and jiggle the can with the
ropes. As [21 Quest]'s trash bags, I hate the idea
of a product whose primary use is to be thrown
away. And what if the contents shift and the bags
have trouble sliding out of the can? You'll want a
handle then. |
|
| |
I have been mulling this idea over in my mind's eye, a so called ge-dunk-in experiment, if you will. It works! |
|
| |
Yep. A recessed sprung handle would keep it up out of the slop. |
|
| |
There is plenty of room for the top, at the bottom. ~ appologies to Paul Dear. |

|
| |
I am a government employee. I don't get paid to work. I just get paid. |
|
| |
//out of the slop// A so called de-gunk-in experiment, if you will. |
|
| |
[MikeD] You get paid to take risks, doncha? Sort of like an
entrepreneur, except the risks aren't financial ones. |
|
| |
Then you must have at least a dollar for every time then. |
|
| |
From time to time, [MP]. Another extended all-expense-paid-for desert vacation is rapidly approaching. I look forward to Baking in a theatre of combat again. I also plan on spending my R&R in europe, with Mrs. MikeD. Hopefully a few European-based bakers can show me and the Mrs. around town, when the time comes. |
|
| |
Yes, just like Disney World really, but more affordabe (although
not quite so clean or indeed fragrant) |
|
| |
The idea is not without merit, but the bun remains pending since
no mention is made of inadvisable and indeed dangerously
unsafe incorporation of (at the very least) propellants or
deflagrants; further, nowhere is it explained how the cats are
placed or lured into the can to begin with. |
|
| |
Why not just put the handle on the side of the bottom of the can. No nasty handle sitting in dirt. |
|
| |
Why not a glue on handle you can stick where it is needed ? |
|
| |
This would fit handily in Product: Garbage Can, and as it already has a
nifty handle on the underside it can be plucked out if necessary. |
