This may be the daftest question ever…i bought a few of these recycling bins wanting one or two as workshop bins as they are a nice size and wont get too heavy when full..they were on a facebook marketplace seller at £7.50 each so probably worth more as scrap…they are obviously new and unused..

However how do i use them? the lid comes off and as you can see theres handles within which would come off easily..if i fill them the would be a pain to empty as the flange for the lid has sharp edges to stop stuff sliding out when emptying…do i put a bag in it but same problem when emptying it would snag and rip on the sharp edges..or am i missing an inner maybe plastic bin?

any insight would be greatly appreciated

Your typical recycles paper, card and bottles won’t be affected by those lips and will easily tip into a larger wheelybin. We are not supposed to put recycling in plastic bags so again no problem ripping a bag.

Question is really how do you use them for what they were not intended for😊
