[item] Metal trash can with no lid

[purchase info] Given to me, was a prop for a trash can band

[time in my possession] Approximately 3 years

[last used] 7 months ago for a video prop in my kids’ recycling video

[difficulty level in getting rid of it] Medium

[destination] Thrift store, maybe freecycle

[info] I have 3 of these, so I’m getting rid of one. I use these to store stuff in my garage, but now I just don’t have much to store anymore. This minimalist stuff really works! I use one to stage all of my “I’m getting rid of…” stuff now. When it’s full, I take it all to the thrift store. By the way, this concept takes discipline. When I empty it, I start rethinking the items. So far I haven’t pulled anything out to keep, but be careful doing this. Sometime it’s best just to take it all to the thrift store right away.
