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?

How much more would the trash hauler charge to come up your driveway and
pick up the bins at the garage?

I'm sure they would balk at the idea. They want them at the pickup location.

Some years ago, when the county started using them, I found the county
knew of a mfg who built a rack for the back fender that would carry
them. I bought one, but it protruded from the rear, and part of it
weighed 40-50 pounds. It was a part that made it necessary to fasten it
to the rack whenever it was used. I sent it back to the mfg.
