Yeah but it isn't that rare. When I lived in San Diego there was never a problem. But we already have recycling carts in our neighborhood, and even though they are low profile it happens like 6 times a year that a storm rolls through and garbage gets blown all up and down the street. [Reply]

I left in 2003. Sucks to hear that though. [Reply]

What is your suggestion? I've had ours out in a steady 30 MPH wind with zero issues. You get much higher than that and it could be a problem. [Reply]

If these things hold up to 30 mph winds then I'm good. Just got very frustrated with the last recycling carts they rolled out. Too light weight and always got knocked over. They don't recycle glass, so the contents are just aluminum cans and cardboard, so a relatively mild gust is all it takes. [Reply]

Mine are in my garage, it's best to not just leave them by the curb all the time. [Reply]

Against the law in San Diego. Can't put them out for more than 24hrs or some shit. So basically you just put them out the night before pick up and bring them in the next day. Which is what any civilized person would do anyway. [Reply]

If you left them out all the time where I live a racoon will open the lid and shred shit everywhere. [Reply]
