Make your bins easy to move around inside

[Jay Blair]

To make my homemade indoor bins easier to move around for floor cleaning, I use two techniques.

For totes turned bins or truck toolbox bins, I cut a scrap of carpet to fit the size of the lid turned catch pan or fabricated catch pan and set my worm bin assembly on the burlap backing side of the carpet scrap. The carpet fiber is now the bottom and slide surface.

Weather on linoleum, carpet or concrete, the carpet fiber makes the heavy bins easier to slide around during floor sweeping.

My carpet scraps are even recycled as I pick up carpet scraps carpet layer friends are tossing out

Good idea!

Forgot the second technique. From working in a industrial plant , I learned a box of rubber bands poured on a slick floor will allow you to "float' a heavey flat bottomed object with no legs as it rolls the rubber bands under it as you push it. But be careful not to step on the rubber bands yourself. Its a sure way to get the "3 Stooges / Jerry Lewis pratfall award' and a day or two off of work

BTW, as the rubberbands roll , they act as erasers too and can clean up stubborn stains as they pass under the weight being moved.
