Galvanized Trash Can vs. Plastic Trash Can vs. 5 Gallon Plastic Bucket
You have three options for trash cans. What you use really comes down to your budget, available tools, what size dog (or dogs) you have, and how long you want this Dog Poop Septic System to last.
We suggest the galvanized trash can because it will hold up over time, comes with a lid, is comparable in price when comparing to the plastic trash cans, and is sized appropriately for medium/large or multi-dog owners. You will need some sort of reciprocating saw. This is the one drawback. If you do not own one, cannot borrow one, etc. then we suggest a plastic trash can with a lid.
Our second choice is a Plastic Trash Can is our second choice! It will hold up fairly well, comes with a lid (yo’ make sure it comes with a lid!), is easier to cut, is fair in price, and still works for medium/large or multi-dog families. As long as you can pop a hole in the bottom, you can use any handheld saw to cut out the bottom.
Our last choice is a 5-gallon bucket. It has very few barriers to entry (it’s cheap, it’s easy to cut, it’s easy to get). We will say, this is a great solution for those with one small dog. That’s not our life (like, not even close).
