Our city provides large garbage cans, about 4' tall and 30" square. Full,
they can weigh up to 200 pounds, especially if we fill them with heavy ice
plant. Our home is located at the bottom of a fairly steep driveway (50'
in
length). We have three of these black cans for household garbage and
landscape debris.

I am getting on in years (80 YO) and find it hard to roll these monster
cans
up to the curb for pickup by the garbage truck. I have tried tying them
(one
at a time) to the hook for my trunk lid inside my trunk.

The problem is, the cans meander something awful when I pull them up the
hill with my car, to the point where I am afraid they might tip over
sideways. I have used heavy rope and also bungee cords. Same problem.

Any better suggestion, anyone? Thank you.

Get a smaller cart and fill the bins at the curb. You have to make more
trips that way but it is a whole lot better than hurting yourself.

You also might get a trailer that you could pull with the garden tractor.
The trash company could probably deal with the cans on the trailer.

they come up with this striped stuff.
