Hi,
I have one of those very large (96 gallon) plastic garbage bins with wheels. It has developed a vertical crack down the front. I've seen several videos on plastic garbage bin repairs, for example:
1. using heat gun to embed metal screen across the crack and into the plastic
2. using soldering gun to melt two sides back together and then add more plastic from a compatible source, usually a zip tie.
3. using a plastic welding gun (requires specialized equipment for the minor amount I need to do)
4. sanding the plastic, overlaying fiberglass mesh, and spackling over the whole thing with 2part epoxy.

Anyone have luck with these or other solutions?
Advice appreciated.
Thank you.
Theodore.

5. Get up early, swap it with your neighbor's identical bin. He'll blame the guys on the truck. Problem solved.


Here they have serial numbers, so that's probably not a good idea.
