MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education.

{3 New Suncast Outdoor Trash Containers}

Who thought that Trash Containers could not look stylish?... When ours were going bad and needed to be replaced I went on line in search for some stylish looking varieties, instead of the ugly dark ones. At Wayfair I did find them, in a nice taupe color and in a 33 gallon size. Look for the item link below this post. They were half price of some competitors and with free shipping. Are you thinking the same way about Outdoor Trash Containers, let me know how you solve that problem. At least let me show you what we ended up with here below.
Our Spunky girl thinks they are raised feline couches...
Photo is taken on March 31 when the Fiberglass Window Boxes were not yet re-filled. 
Pieter had emptied them in order to clean them up entirely.
Below you see them with the verbenas still inside, a week earlier.
When these 3 Suncast Outdoor Trash Containers got delivered, one tab was missing but we received a replacement in no time. Wayfair's customer service is excellent!
New tab already put on and neatly they are lined up. Our driveway is on a slope, in case you are wondering if the fiberglass window box is not hanging straight. It does, but the driveway goes downhill.
If you lock these latches by pushing them inside, those containers are locked. 
No raccoon will be able to open them. 
BUT which critter would want to come near, with our Spunky girl on top of them?

  3. My dear friend Mariette,
    Spunky is a lovely girl and it seems she is on guard and no critter will dare to approach.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
    Love to you

  5. Inderdaad veeeel mooier dan die vieze grijs-zwarte! Maar denk niet dat je hier zelf containers mag aanschaffen hoor....
    Fijne dag nog!

  9. Il traduttore non funziona ma credo di capire che quel bellissimo gattone si sta riposando sopra ai bidoni della spazzatura...che sono parecchio belli pure loro...i nostri sono orribili!!!
    Un bacione grande e buon weekend!

  10. Spunky sure looks comfy. And those trash cans are the prettiest I've ever seen.

    Arab Mother's Day is in March just after Mothering Sunday (for the UK). My boys don't ever think about celebrating any of those dates. :/

    Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy

  11. Dear Mariette,
    Wow your new trash containers look so chic and nice. I wish we could use some like that. Our town only uses one type that they provide.

    Love your sweet Spunky sitting atop the trash container. She is queen!!

    Wishing you a wonderful weekend and sweet phone visit with your dear mother for Mother's Day.
    Love to you, Celestina Marie
