Description
Haul leaves, clippings, feed sacks and barn trash in the Chem-Tainer The Carry Barrel 60 Gallon Green, a one-piece polyethylene barrel with a wide open top and a steel ring molded into the rim. The green barrel stands 28 in tall with a 28 in mouth that tapers to a 23 1/2 in base, so it nests for storage and stays stable when you drag it across the yard. Landscapers, construction crews and refuse haulers have leaned on this design for over 50 years, and it is just as handy beside the muck pile.
Key Features
- Molded-in steel top ring: a steel ring cast into the rim keeps the mouth round and stiff, so the barrel does not fold when you lift a full load of wet leaves by the edge.
- Wide top, tapered sides: the broad opening makes raking debris in and dumping it out quick, while the taper lets empty barrels nest for shipping and off-season storage.
- Grooved bottom and ribbed walls: a groove around the base gives your hand a grip when tipping and lifting, and the ribs add strength without adding weight.
- Tough polyethylene: the plastic body will not rust, dent or rot the way a metal can does, and it wipes clean after manure or wet grass.
- About Chem-Tainer: Chem-Tainer Industries molds polyethylene containers for landscapers, construction and refuse collection, and ships this barrel from Florida and New York.
How to Use It
Keep one by the back door for leaf season and rake straight into the mouth, then carry it to the compost pile or the curb. Around the barn, use it to collect stall waste, shavings bags and baling twine, or park it under the wash rack for wet towels and rags. On a job site it works as a general debris can for offcuts and packaging, and the wide top takes a bagged load without snagging. Hose it out and let it dry upside down between uses, and nest several together in the shed over winter. Pair a brimming barrel of wet material with a hand truck or a helper.
