The size and weight of this bucket make it perfect for emptying all my wastebaskets. A 33-gallon trash bag fits inside it perfectly, stretching tightly around the top so it doesn’t fall inside when a can full of stuff is dumped into it. I’ve searched unsuccessfully for ages for some type of cart to meet this need but find this bucket is ideal. It weighs practically nothing and collapses easily after use to store in a closet.
I’ve always hated emptying the household trash into the black plastic bags with stuff spilling everywhere. I don’t pre-line every can in the house, nor do I have enough trash to warrant emptying daily, so my weekly trek is often very annoying as I go from room to room with an uncooperative floppy black bag in tow. This spring bucket has just made my life much more pleasant. I purchased a larger version as a Christmas present and was so taken with its ability to collapse and store when not in use, I ordered this one for myself hoping it would meet my inside need. It does indeed, with 5 stars.
It springs up fully and has a sturdy slick material on the sides, which gives it good stability and a smooth interior so the filled trash bag is easy to pull out without getting caught on the spring bands. The hard shell bottom allows it to slide easily over floor or carpet so pulling it from room to room is easy.
I know it has lots of other uses both inside and out, but for me this one job makes it well worth the price and makes trash day relatively painless–finally.

I purchased this item two weeks ago and mainly use it with a bag to pick up leaves and weeds. It works great and it fills my needs exactly. The one thing you have to make sure and do is place the yard waste exactly in the middle or it will fall over due to the loose sides but this is ok since it collapses and is easy to store away. Great item.

I was looking for a better way to remove weeds from my gardens…I was tired of waiting for my husband to get around to hooking the wagon to the lawn tractor and then waiting again for him to move the wagon from the yard when I was done. I tried using a plastic 30 gallon trash can but that was too cumbersome because of the weight of the can before you add any clippings or weeds to it.
When I saw the Kangaroo Gardening Container, I knew it was what I had been looking for. It is collapsible and has a loop and button on opposite sides of the hard base so it stays collapsed and is easy to store on the wall with just a single hook. Just unloop the buttons when you want to use it and it stays open and upright while you fill it. It also has strong, sturdy handles located at the top so you can either carry it with both handles or drag it with one handle without fear of tearing a handles off. There is also a third handle at the base directly below one of the top handles which is a tremendous help when you want to dump it. The hard base makes it easy to drag across the yard just in case you fill it too much and can’t lift all the weight. I’ve done that more and once and at first I was afraid one of the handles might rip off but that’s not the case. This can can take a lot of abuse!
I read a lot of reviews before I purchased this gardening container and I want to thank all the reviewers who said they didn’t like the collapsible container because the bottom ripped out so easily. Maybe they didn’t know there are different bases or the hard shell wasn’t available when they wrote their reviews but that made me look into the different types of these containers and helped me determine the best one is the container with the hard shell base. You will pay a little more for the difference between the soft base and the hard shell base but that little amount of money is way by far worth it in the long run. If anything happens to the Hard Shell Base Kangaroo Gardening Container I now own, I won’t hesitate to buy another one!

I love this thing!! I am now taking care of my yard alone and there is no one to hold the bag when I am raking leaves. This item is perfect. I use xtra large bags, its more than 30 gallons(55 gal drum liners work best) so I have plenty of bag left to close with at the top. I use a couple of dollar store clamps to hold the liner, till it gets partly full, and after the bag is full and tied… I just turn the holder over and it has a handle on the bottom to help with dumping out the full bag. I use those plastic hand-held scoops to pick up leaves and put them in the bags. I have already done 10 bags this spring, and I haven’t cleaned out the flower beds yet!
The only adjustment I made to this container was to enlarge the air holes in the plastic bottom with my drill, so that the full bags would slip out more easily. Love it!!!

I love this piece of gardening equipment. This is my second one to own, finally wore out the first. I especially like the hard shell bottom. I’ve owned others with a soft bottom and they wear out really quickly. I drag it all around the yard and it holds up beautifully. Only downfall is the handles wear out before the bag does. Otherwise it is very useful.
