Waste Management Bagster 606-Gallon Green Plastic Outdoor Trash Can Are these water tight? Can they be made so, applying sealant on edges, or is it just too problematic and inconsistent? Any ideas on how to create an emergency dam in a day? |

Search for 'watertight' here and you'll find that the answer is that is it not watertight. https://www.thebagster.com/products/...s_answers.aspx Can you make it watertight? I seriously doubt that it's something you could accomplish quickly/easily. Any ideas on how to create an emergency dam in a day? Evacuate |

It also has to be heavy enough to withstand the pressure of the floodwater. It would take quit a bit of mass to fill it out to keep shape. I'd be evacuated already. |

I doubt it's truly meant to be watertight, but it could hold back water most of the water, like sand bags, probably better than sand bags. But how do you support it? You'd need a wood frame or sand bags or similar behind it and attached to it. Doesn't sound practical to me. |

Just sayin'. |
