What Customers Are Saying
The product appears to be of poor quality and not durable, with many customers reporting issues with the lid breaking or cracking, even when kept in a protected environment. The plastic material was described as brittle and prone to cracking or shattering. While a few found it functional, the majority of reviews indicate this is a low-quality item that is unlikely to hold up well over time, especially for outdoor or heavy-duty use.

Not UV and Cold Tolerant
Bought 4 back in December 2023. I live in Northern Virginia. We out early in the morning to recycle items and the handle cracked. It was at or near freezing. Then Spring came. It rained. Sometimes the lids blow off. These cans are heavy when they have water in them. Difficult to load into my truck. i drilled holes in the bottom to let water drain out. I bought bungee cord to prevent lids flying away. Then came the summer and the heat. The lids turned white. Then they became very fra...
Falls Apart
Would Not RecommendAvoid this like the plague. This recycle bin won't last and disintegrates on its own with minimal outdoor exposure. We left it outside for a few days and the rain destroyed it.
Very satisfied!
Would RecommendI needed to replace my recycling bin and there it was and the price was right.

Almost Single Use
Would Not RecommendHaving owned several of the required style recycle containers like this one (BlueHawk) made, I can say the quality is the pits. It's gone from bad to worse and after only a few time using them, the lid and handles begin to break. Either the material composition or manufacturing process seems off now. The can and lid are very brittle and crack in normal use. The mfg doesn't seem to care, as they won't respond to emails, and worse yet, the lids aren't available apart from the can. Hate ...
Great Value
Would RecommendJust what I needed. Sturdy and strong. The price was great too.

Falls Apart
Would Not RecommendI purchased two of these because my recycle bins are too small to hold all my recyclables for a family of 5. Within 8 months of outdoor use, the plastic was fatigued and brittle with the handles having broken off, the lid broken in a dozen pieces, several chunks have fallen off in various places, large cracks in the bottom, etc. Add insult to injury, I bought these a couple years ago for $18 each. Now they are around $28. Project Source is a Lowe's brand. Lowe's used to carry mostly quality prod...
This can is very fkimsy
Would Not RecommendWe purchased this not even a year ago. It I s made of CHEAP plastic. It's basically falling apart. Don't waste your money on this can
Absolute garbage
Would Not RecommendIf you’re looking for a trashcan to put leaves, and Pine needles in, this is probably your pick, but if you’re looking to put anything heavier in it, like actual trash, don’t waste your money. Spend a few more bucks and get one of the Rubbermaid or Brute cans. I bought four of these for my shop, and, within a day two of them had the handle snap, and a few weeks later, the bottom blew out, and the side cracked. They are not even sitting outside, they are in a controlled temperature environment. A...
Flimsy Construction
Just bought mine less than 2 mos ago and already both lids are ripped. Trashy quality. Pun intended.

Complete trash
Would Not RecommendThis bin is trash. I purchased it in June to replace another I had for over 15 years. This thing cracked up and got holes in it in less than 6 months! I don’t write a lot of reviews but felt so strongly about this, I just had to. Save your money and get another brand or buy elsewhere.
Great recycle bin
Would RecommendI purchased this for our new house. It's a great bin for a great price.
Just trash
Would Not RecommendPretty useless. After a few short months of light use, was shattered. Would not recommend:/
DONT DO IT
Would Not RecommendBought these for storing feed bags, hoping to keep the mice out. But after a few months, the lids shatter. Went in to see about buying new lids and they're not sold separately. The cans themselves are holding up great, just the lids are crap. I talked to the manager about it and they recommended contacting the manufacturer, but good luck finding the info on who actually makes these. I dont need 3 more trash cans, I just need 3 more lids :(
Fair price

Great Can to hold recycling
Would RecommendI like to recycle my own plastic and aluminum cans and needed something large enough to hold my recyclables.
