Default Dust Collector Trash Can

I used a Toro leaf vacuum/ blower from Lowes for $58 for my vacuum
collector. WOrk beautiful, about 90% capture.

I have a Jet 1100 dust collector with a trash can hooked up. The problem is
the trash can never fills unless I'm planing materials and even then most
of the chips get sucked into the collector. I'm just using a inexpensive
plastic top on the can. It really creates a cyclone force that brings the
chips from the bottom to the DC collector hose.

Any one having good luck with a certain bran top.

In the Better Homes 450 shop tips there is one made of wood on page 128
that has a wire mesh at the top. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
