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.

You might find some rubber wheels at Harbor Freight that will
fit it. I can imagine the sound it makes because back in the
late 1980's I had a little 3 year old buddy next door who's
parents gave him soft drinks containing a lot of sugar and
caffeine. At five in the morning he would be on his Big Wheel
zipping up and down the sidewalk outside my window. It sounded
like a concrete mixer.

3 YO and Hot Wheels

I'd like to know who signed off on using pavers/tile in supermarkets,
especially with the huge grout lines.

Don't you think they'd want a flat surface so that customers have a
nice relaxing experience and might want to hang out longer?

I can't wait to get out any areas with pavers (typically the produce
department and sometimes the bakery) to get away from the clunk clunk
clunk of the shopping cart wheels.

If they think that they make people slow down in those departments, it
doesn't work for me.
