That's an excellent question, as the weight of an empty trash can is a practical consideration for many of our customers. Our most popular model, the 'TerraBin DuraMax 50-gallon,' weighs approximately 22 pounds (or about 10 kilograms) when it's completely empty.
This weight is a result of its robust, heavy-duty construction. We use a thick, resin material that is specifically designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, from intense sun to freezing temperatures, without cracking or fading. It also features a reinforced base and a wide, stable stance to prevent it from tipping over in strong winds, even when empty. While 22 lbs is substantial enough to feel durable and secure, it's still a manageable weight for most adults to move around your patio, deck, or garden for cleaning or repositioning. This balance of sturdiness and practicality is a key reason why it's our best-selling outdoor bin.
