    I had 11 sweepers, I forgot to count the 2 I had already broken down!! I came in for a cup of coffee and to warm up, I just closed the garage door and have my truck loaded up ready to take a load first thing in the morning.

    all those sweepers

    I'm going to have to beg borrow and steal garbage cans from my neighbors, I already filled up 4 with scrap crap and have more to go yet!! garbage mans going to hate me tuesday morning!!

    You might want to look around on C.L. for anyone selling those 55 gal. blue plastic barrels. You can cut handles into the sides and use for trash man (not put him in) , and your not gonna wear it out or dent it.

    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.

    Whenever there are trash cans or recycle bins in a Cleanout we are doing I save them. Sure makes sorting my scrap easier!

    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!

    I agree........ I have a supplier for them and I get them for $5 each..... cant beat it at all! He has an unlimited supply for me too.
