Default Taking our our trash

This may be a stretch.

We have two trash containers that must be put out on our street each
Thursday. They have two wheels. One is for recyclables, and the other
for waste materials. Until recently, I could use an old 1997 Plymouth
van to put them into the back of the fan, and drive them about 750'
out to the street for a pickup, along with 7 other neighbors.
Unfortunately, the van died. Now I have to roll the containers the
750' down our driveway and to the collection site where the
pickup--paved all the way. I really don't like rolling to the pickup
site.
I've contemplated buying an used pickup truck, but I really have much
for a pickup truck. I've thought of maybe using something like a golf
cart, but it would require some work to put a fixture on it that would
hold the containers. Aside from that, I'm out of space in my garage to
put a golf cart in it. Maybe a motorized wagon might work. Parachutes,
zip lines, ... ? :-)

Comments?


A little trailer for your car? Doesn't need to be licenseable. Or a rope through
a hole inside the trunk that you can tie through the container handle.
