Default Best material to cover garbage bin wheels

Man!!! I wish I had problems in life like Professor whatever, and
had

Get something real to woryy about.

In our city, we have large bins for garbage and recycling. The
bins
have hard plastic wheels. We recently replaced our asphalt
driveway
with pavers. The pavers have a much rougher surface than the
asphalt.
Now, when I walk the bins out to the curb, the hard plastic wheels
make a horrible racket.

I would like to wrap the wheels with a strip of rubber or
something to
muffle the noise. I am planning to go to the local hardware store
and
look for a suitable material, but thought I would first ask if
anyone
has done this beforfe or has any suggestions for,

a. The right material to use, and

b. The best way to attach it to the wheels.

There is about an inch of clearance in the wheel housing.
