Recycling Trash Can Wheel Replacement

This video shows the do it yourself (DIY) replacement of wheels for a recycling trash can. The video is on the Learn from Looking KZbin Channel, and the link is in my Instagram profile along with other content ( / sustainability_charlie .
This video addresses home improvement and practical ways to solve for damages that may occur around the house. Sustainability is about energy efficiency and renewable power, but it also about keeping trash out of landfills. Recycling is a key spoke on the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. A fourth “R” should probably be Repair, because too often people throw away products that are damaged rather than fixing them. The fix keeps them out of the landfills. In this case the repair served to keep the recycling trash can out of the landfill, and it also serves to create a workable vessel for recycling bottles and glass.
The wheels were harder to find than I thought at the Lowe’s. For your reference, here is the link to the 8” diameter wheel: www.lowes.com/pd/Arnold-8-in-.... For whatever reason at the time of posting this video, I only saw online the 8” vs the 6” wheel that I used for repairing my recycling bin.

Trying to find replacement lids for trash cans is VERY annoying. Especially if the can is not perfectly round and you don't know the mfg company. It really sucks that companys' that manufacture trash cans, never list their company name or the model number anywhere on the cans they sell. WRZ 2022-02-13
