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.


Walter , there is an easier way to move trash bins over long and steep
driveways, check it my website, it is a simple bracket to tow wheeled
bins.It is called TOW-A-BIN.
