Toter Blackstone Trash Can with Wheels and Attached Lid, 48 Gallon

We purchased one of these 3 years ago. We purchased a second one this to replace a lighter weight plastic container.We have had harsh winter and summer weather and the older one is still in great shape. My husband drilled a couple of holes in the bottom so when the trash company doesn't close the lid rain will drain out without the need to tip the cans.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Toter trash container. It is sturdily built but fairly lightweight. The wheels are large and make it easy to roll the container. I like the attached lid as well. One issue limits my rating to 4 stars. I purchased the 32 gallon model primarily because it was the only reasonable size available at the time (otherwise I would have had to purchase the 64 or 96 gallon model that was much more costly and larger than I needed). The 32 gal model is ok but a bit too small for my family - also, you lose a lot of room because the bottom is very narrow. I'd recommend buying the 48 gallon model that unfortunately was not available when I made my purchase.

I bought this hoping that it would prevent squirrels from eating through it. That did not happen. They ate through the bottom and now the axel is about to fall out. They now pull all the trash out through the bottom and the mess is even more than before.

The can worked great for 6 months until something (raccoon, squirrel, ???) chewed a hole in the lid. Had a similar problem with thinner plastic but this is supposed to be so sturdy I didn't expect a problem. Submitted a warranty claim to the company but this is apparently not covered by their warranty. Does not state that anywhere on their warranty, but then again the warranty is vague and covers "damage" without explaining what this is. No exclusion for animals. They offered I can replace the lid for $50, but at that price I could almost buy a new can elsewhere. Very disappointed. 10 year warranty unless it's damaged, then your damage isn't covered. Didn't even survive six months in the "wilds" of northern NJ.

This Toter is very large, very sturdy, very easy to wheel.We have smaller Rubbermaid trash cans. They don't wheel very well. They tip. The lids can be difficult to close and lock, especially in winter weather. Our trash collectors take the lids off and throw them on the ground. They can't do that with the Toter. The lid doesn't leak, it can't fall off, it can't blow away. We've had it for a few weeks, and I have no complaints at all. It's the best trash can we've ever had.

This pail is awful. Top heavy so it tips over in the slightest bit of windy weather. The lid flips open too easily - exposing the garbage to the rain. Have had to go outside several times to right it and empty the water out. Tried to store my disassembled cardboard shipping boxes in it during the quarantine for our biweekly recycling. What a mess! It has been a source of aggravation since we got it. Poor design. Flimsy cover. Much too narrow on the bottom. This pail is not worth the price. “Stay at home” orders will make it impossible to get to UPS to return. I very much regret purchasing this item and wasting my money. Amazon Prime membership was not helpful in this case.

We lost a lid to high winds for one of our older 32gallon round trash bins. So we decided this time we wanted one with a lid attached. This fit the bill perfectly. They are very durable yet still light enough to lift. The wheels are much bigger and sturdier than on the old trash cans. This makes them easier to roll. You can feel the durability and strength of the material.They do SEEM to be a tighter fit for our trash bags. This is likely due to the design which may be for added strength to the trash bin. However we still have had no issues with any lack of space in the bins for weekly trash pick up. The mold of the bin also means that you have more edges to clean inside. Should be easy enough to spray out with a water hose. But if you are wanting to scrub it out, be aware that you will have more edges inside due to the molding.The hinged lids are a great, no more worry about lost lids or warped lids(from when trash men stuffed lids into the old cans).

This was by far the most unusual Christmas present I have ever purchased! My husband was sick and tired of the cheapo garbage cans we had which fall apart in a year or so. He was so fed up that he was willing to up our waste collection service bill just to get a 35-gallon bin like this one, but I wouldn't go for it. We didn't need the larger capacity, as we recycle as much as we can, and our our monthly waste collection bill would have increased by a fair amount as well. So...I ordered up this heavy duty can for him as a Christmas gift. Our capacity remained the same, but now we have a 32 gallon can as sturdy as the 35 gallon version, and I didn't have to increase our bill at all. It's an expensive garbage can, but shipping was free, and I figure the amount we save by not increasing service will pay off the cost of it in a couple of years! It was a tough one to wrap, but he LOVES this new garbage can!
