I immediately got out the power saw and cut the bin into smaller pieces and put the pieces into the neighbor’s nice new maroon bin.

That was a waste - those bins are the perfect size for storing various shed items. If they have drainage holes, you can use them to cover plants to protect them from bad weather. I'm using mine to hold garden edging, bags of bird seed and small tools.

Mine are the perfect size to use as snow molds for the snow forts I have built for my kids over the last few years. Since they are tapered, the snow comes right out as one big solid chunk every time. Stacking the blocks three or four high is no big deal. I hope it snows enough this year to put them to good use.

Not a waste...

-don’t have a shed and the carport is about as organized as a library with the Dewey decimal system
-live in South Florida...not much need to cover the plants
-served as a good protest statement to the city.
-I hate clutter...don’t “save” stuff...My motto is; “throw it away/give it away/put it away”...learned that from messies anonymous

...but I do understand your perspective.
