We use these trashcans for cleanup in our roofing business. They're durable and best of all, they won't roll off a roof. The handles will break if overloaded, but still the best trash can for our purposes.

Comments about Rubbermaid(r) Roughneck(r) 30 Gallon Trash Container (2979EVG) - 6 Pack:
Great product, I still have one of the original cans from 25 years ago. Wish you could buy single units as I did not need six garbage cans which is the only way to purchase them. Works very well in a narrow garage and they don't blow around like the round ones. I hope these last as long as the original cans and with six I'll never have to buy one again.

Comments about Rubbermaid(r) Roughneck(r) 30 Gallon Trash Container (2979EVG) - 6 Pack:
Even though I only needed four. I found there was no place I could purchase just that number. Ace had the six pack at the best price and delivered to my local store. I may never use the other two cans, but If a neighbor needs one I can sell it to them for cost. These cans will out live me. Made as tough as the ones I bought 30 years ago. Can't say that about many things anymore.

Comments about Rubbermaid(r) Roughneck(r) 30 Gallon Trash Container (2979EVG) - 6 Pack:
The first ones I bought were brown rectangular, and about 28 gallon size. That was 30 years ago. The next batch looked the same as these. They have lasted about 15 years. I even still have an origional brown one left, 30 years old and still in use!I have always used these in the kitchen as waste baskets. We take them out 2 or 3 or 4 times a week depending on what is in them and how much is in them. Doing this we don't have a smell problem.I use 33 gal bags with them.I had them shipped to the store. [...]When I went looking for new garbage cans, these were the only ones I wanted. The price was very good too.Super product! Wouldn't buy anything else!

Comments about Rubbermaid(r) Roughneck(r) 30 Gallon Trash Container (2979EVG) - 6 Pack:
This Trashcan, because it is somewhat square in shape makes it suitable for indoor use as well as outdoor. Myself I use it as a "Kitchen Dumpster" as it holds 39 gallon bags and only needs to be emptied once per week instead of numerous times like your typical whimpy 13 gallon refuse can.

Comments about Rubbermaid(r) Roughneck(r) 30 Gallon Trash Container (2979EVG) - 6 Pack:
This trash can is perfect for a 1 car garage. The round ones just don't fit with the car. This is the only one on the market that I could find, and it's still 30 gallons.
