The animal resistance test involved binding my hands in duct tape and then attempting to open the trash cans by any means, including knocking them over and belly flopping on them. The swinging lid makes it easier to open with one hand and we noted that since it's attached you'll never lose it. Not that many pests can chew their way through steel. If you don't use bags, there are handles on the side and bottom to help empty the Brute.We tossed selected trash cans from high up to test their resilience.We used a mixture of wet sand, cardboard, paper, and metal weights to simulate garbage.The Ace's performance might not live up to its namesake but it's well priced.

We found that the handles are not that ergonomic, cutting into your fingers after only a short distance. If you clean with it, it's likely that Jon oversees its testing. I want it easy to access in all weather, durable, and an ASSET, not a liability to our property. Suncast's choice of material means that this trash can is chemically resistant, able to take temperatures of up to 120°F without warping and withstand 76 percent more damage from dragging.After taking into account its ergonomic design and rugged construction, we think the Toter Blackstone is going to suit most households.

Even the lid has a ribbed interior to prevent it from getting crushed.
Your landlord or real estate agent should have the details about the local rules.As silly as it looked, we tried to test how animal resistant each trash can was by wrapping our hands up.Third, on our list was the ease-of-use testing. We then assessed each model to check for signs of abnormal wear, any points of failure like cracks or broken wheels, and lids that no longer fit.

However, it's not as convenient as the Toter.

If you decide to drag it, be prepared for your neighbors waking up because the Behrens is capable of making a metallic racket. During testing we found it to be a bit flimsy.
The best animal-proof outdoor garbage cans you can buy.
The bottom may be durable but it's a pain to drag about. It beat the competition by being versatile, flexible, and mobile. The stainless-steel body has no odd corners in the interior so it's easy to wash out.
