I always like to pass on quality products, particularly when they're backed by really good people.

Our driveway is roughly 1000-1200' long. It makes for a long pull of the garbage can by hand each week. Years ago, I'd use our daughters XR50 to pull it up.. yea... it was dicey at best, especially in the snow.

Then, in '02 we picked up a couple ATV's. Ride one handed, while pulling the can with the other hand.. worked okay.

Then, we got our first side by side. I couldn't very well reach back there and hang onto the handle, so I continued to use my trusty old Honda Rancher to do the task. Until I found the Garbage Commander.

This sucker is so slick. Works like an absolute charm. I got the one that attaches to the ball on my hitch, they have several different types. But if you have a similar situation, you need one.

Excellent product, excellent service.

You must have monster trash cans. I have a 1500’ driveway. I put both trash cans in the bed. Lay them down at an angle against the tailgate of my 1000-5.

My drive is about 2000' to the highway. I simple leave the huge can out near the end of the driveway, and take the trash in the bed of Pioneer as needed. On Weds I roll the can about 30' to the road.

I have a customer that bought a similar device designed to fit in the receiver hitch on a golf cart. Maybe some google searching you could find it.

This is what we have. Had to make a spacer to lift it higher especially with a full can. It just barely scrapes when it’s full and I can just get it to catch the cross bar.

I’m the auto-leveling shocks carry it better but I’m not putting them on to carry trash.

That's why I like the model I have.. you use the wheels on the can instead of lifting it.

I've been pulling our can up the gravel driveway for almost 20 yrs now, haven't broken a wheel yet. I'll admit though... the wheels on my can do show the miles! :)

I have 3 cans and three 1/2 mile round trips with the wheels on the ground would be time consuming. With it carried I’ll hit 30+ up the driveway.

Good point, but I've looked down and seen low 20's before.. the other cool thing about this brand is they have can-to-can hooks too. You hook up to the first one, & can attatch a whole line of cans behind it.

There’s another company that makes a double can carrier, but I figured it’d be too heavy.
