These bins are great for garden use; they are lightweight and perfect to collect yard debris or plant clippings. Its made of plastic, so careful not to put dried up plants/stick that are too thorny that will poke a hole. I also have one in the garage to place immediate recycling/plastic/paper material in it before I dump it out into the large outdoor bin. It has a handle on both sides and a zippered cover as well. Very useful and practical.
