Presumably. On the other hand, why pass up a perfectly good chance
to gain some experience working with heavy-duty plastic? I'd much
rather learn something before I need it. grin!

So ask the company the City uses for broken scraps and practice on
those...for next time.

Nice thought. Unfortunately, the manufacturer (a Zarn, Inc. of
Reidsville, North Carolina) appears to have gone out of business.

I know that the local wildlife ('possums and raccons) have, from
time to time, climbed up the side of this supercan, popped open the
lid, ripped my bags to shreds, and scattered the contents. And I
don't rinse (e.g.) every ice cream box before tossing it.

Drill a couple holes and mount a slab of iron on the lid so they can't
lift it. It still works upside down in the garbadj truck.

Ouch! I can see the headline now: "Class Action Suit Filed on
Behalf of Park Animals; Seeks 10M Damages for Malicious Wounding!".
grin!

Interestingly, even though my house is closer to the James River
Park than most on the street, my can seems to have less plastic
gnawed off the cart's edges.
