Over the decades, I have collected a number of disaster supplies specific for my region. These were stored in bins around the house and garage shelves. Unfortunately, many bins were repurposed, plus DH likes to move stuff around and not tell me.
I now have an unused 96 gallon rolling bin like the type used for automated trash and recycling pickup that I’d like to use for outdoor storage of bulkier disaster supplies. (No snow and under eaves.) I also have lid covers to keep out rain and debris and deter accidental usage.
Examples of items I am thinking of storing include the never-been-used pail toilet kit, privacy tent, folding shovel, etc. that are taking up desirable storage space elsewhere. Not go-bags or anything of high value. However, bins of this type are very deep, much bigger than a round trash container. Perishables like water or canned food would be a retrieval issue due to weight.
If anyone uses such a setup, how do you get things out from the bottom of the container without throwing out your back?
