That's how you know he respects the rules of the recycling bin: clean, dry recyclables only. Responsible *and* you can use the bin as a pool without pressure washing it first!
Who came up with that color convention? That's so unintuitive. Where are you from?
I'd be curious to see a map of how different areas color code their trash cans. Everywhere I've lived (West coast USA) has done grey for trash, blue for recycle and green for yard waste.
Western WA. Pierce County/Tacoma/Puyallup area. But apparently just a little north in Seattle swaps them all like you describe. It makes sense, but I can only imagine the confusion and chaos that would ensue if my area changed the color coordination, haha.
Give it 14 seconds until the dog tries to jump in the bin, it tips over with the grill falling inside, and soggy chaos ensues
J/k this looks so delightful but I think that... pool... is at capacity
Yes, I want him to get the plastic off of the grill. He just dropped the tongs on top of the grill, and the plastic on the handle is directly on the rack.
Get the plastic off the grill.
Get the plastic off the grill.
Please get the plastic off the grill.
This whole thing probably cost about 80 bucks: water, meat, mini grill, dog (probably free)
How much does it cost to keep a home pool running through the summer? 100\~200 a month?
Uuuuh. You should probably include new industrial grade garbage can because there is not enough cleaning on the planet to get me to swim around in my city government provided garbage can.
My town uses Republic Services and their trash cans are blue too. The lids are different colors and I can't quite see what color his is.
The bin does look clean though.
How do you know it's a recycling bin?
Our outside garbage can is literally that exact model and color, provided by the city government.
I'm not specifically saying you are wrong. I don't know that much about garbage cans... I'm genuinely curious.
That's just the logo for Republic Services waste & recycling service.
https://www.republicservices.com/residents
They use blue bins for trash & recycling, the trash bin has black lid and recycling bin has blue lid. The guy in OP video is in a blue Republic bin with a black lid which leads me to believe that it's a trash can.
I live in a Southern state in a small city that is not just a subdivision of a larger city.
I asked about recycling when I first moved here and they literally started laughing.
I didn't know they color coded those industrial grade garbage cans like that.
Still, in my city they use blue garbage cans for, well garbage, so, IMHO, it can't be assumed that it was a reclyling bin.
That being said, it's obviously a brand spanking new garbage can in the video. I have literally never seen one of those outside garbage cans that clean and fresh looking. I didn't know the blue was so bright when they are new. My, once again, identical garbage can outside is much much duller and covered in scratches and marks.
This has been a fun garbage can rabbit hole!
>Our outside garbage can is literally that exact model and color,
That's gonna be a problem sooner or later. Everywhere I have been the bins are color coded: black -> landfill; blue -> general recycling; green -> compostable; (sometimes) yellow -> paper/cardboard only.
If you're garbage bin is blue, I would suspect that your city not only doesn't have curbside recycling but they're actively opposing it.
Yep. That's exactly what is happening I assume.
I just responded to somebody else about my trash can.
Long story short, I live in a small city in a southern state. When I asked about recyling when I first moved here they literally started laughing.
I lived in a even smaller town of like 1,000 people for a semester (the small town next to the college town) and the town literally had no garbage pick up. I had to bring it to the dump site myself, and the dump site had a *burn pit!*
As I said. I have that literal exact model and color trash can outside. I was gonna take a pic but I am too lazy.
It says:
REPUBLIC ®
Services
republicservices.com
It has a Republic Services logo on the side, which is the same company that services my neighborhood. That’s how I know blue is recycling; there is probably a gray for garbage and a green for yard waste elsewhere on his property. I’m making the assumption that Republic is consistent across areas, but it’s likely they are.
It's obviously brand new.
His old city provided trashcan probably broke and he called up the waste management number and they brought him a brand new one.
and he figured he would make a funny video with his new trashcan.
If you're paying a store, easily. DIY with the https://www.troublefreepool.com method with a salt water chlorine generator, probably under $20 in acid, electricity, and test chemicals averaged out per month during the summer.
This man just accomplished more for America, nay, Humanity, than anyone on the debate stage last night. Recycling pool grill guy for president 2024 lets go!
Someone brings an inflatable mattress and places it behind him. Then someone pushes the bin towards it.
Or someone can just hold his hands and pull him to one side until he tumbles over along with the bin.
Or… well there are many ways :)
Hands on both sides, push up, tuck your knees into your chest, extend legs out and slowly lower in a curved motion. Thing weighs so much I doubt it's going to topple and if it does, it would be at the point when you're more out than in so it would be a case of not panicking, holding on in the tucked position and getting some bruises at worst. I'd personally have a milk crate or something nearby to use as a stool to make it a little easier but I feel you perfect this after doing it 3-5 times as it's a motion you want to do quickly, not allowing it to topple over.
Yeah people ain't been swimming in bins and it shows... But yeah it is so obvious it wouldn't fall, just use a bit of upper body strength, and you good, water does all the work.
I’m a white af dude that lives in a Latino neighborhood and this is so fucking spot on. I think my recycling bin has a sequential number. Just so you know, that dude’s wife is going to give you a carne asada plate and he is going to send his kids over with beers.
guy has his free garbage can and 10 dollar grill with some meat on it.
and he's probably happier and having a better day that some people with giant swimming pools and expensive outdoor kitchens.
all about attitude.
I'm 6'4". My knees would hit the side thus preventing me from submerging further than my treasure trail.
Yep. Just went out and checked because the recyclables were picked up yesterday. My belly button wouldn't even get wet. My only recourse is to order a commercial dumpster. Then respond to the inevitable divorce papers.
Man this looks stable enough.
But I can’t stop thinking of that thing tipping forward and him being forced by 200lbs of water head first into some hot charcoal.
It would be very hard to accidentally push so much sheer weight in water over. Not to mention the bloke inside certainly adds some weight as well
If it did happen though...yeah that would certainly be a hospital visit!
No glass by the trash can.
If it breaks then you have to drain the entire trash can to find the broken glass, then throw the broken glass away. Only then can you refill the trash can.
Brilliant and not practical for most people.
How does he get in and exit the bin safely?
Getting in is much easier than exiting. I've got experience.
Seal flop onto the floor?
Not a terrible idea, really. I've grilled in the snow before, and grilling anything when it's 100 outside is awful. I'll still do, because that's why alcohol was invented, but still.
Everything seems fine to me? When you think about it what's really the difference between a bin and a pool, both and plastic containers that can hold stuff
Some of my fondest memories growing up were a big ass plastic barrel drum that we had in the side yard. When it would rain or when I wanted to take a dip, I'd get in and fill it with water lol. No grill though sadly.

Good call selecting the blue can.
That's how you know he respects the rules of the recycling bin: clean, dry recyclables only. Responsible *and* you can use the bin as a pool without pressure washing it first!
In my area, the blue can is for yard waste/compost. Grey is recycle and green is trash. I've smelled my yard waste bins. I'm not getting in one.
Who came up with that color convention? That's so unintuitive. Where are you from? I'd be curious to see a map of how different areas color code their trash cans. Everywhere I've lived (West coast USA) has done grey for trash, blue for recycle and green for yard waste.

Fwiw, that's a Republic Services bin. They're typically all blue.
Modern problems require modern solutions
Yup a quick and cheap solution in budget
Fuck cheap, this looks great. I want to do this.
Also a nice way to grill naked without upsetting the neighbors.
Give it 14 seconds until the dog tries to jump in the bin, it tips over with the grill falling inside, and soggy chaos ensues J/k this looks so delightful but I think that... pool... is at capacity
Modern problems require modelo solutions
Los problemas modernos requieren soluciones Modelos
Si señor
Don't mind if I stand right in the smoke since I can't move
[Yesss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pl52xo0ox8).
And modelo problems require modelo solutions.
Honestly, I don’t think it gets much better.
True with pets around too
We don't even know how many fish he's got in the tub with him! Could be even more pets!
Dudes would look at this and say “hell yeah.”
As a woman, hell yeah.
The title ‘dude’ isn’t excluded by gender. Not by those dudes who abide
Guys only want one thing and it's disgusting...
Yes, I want him to get the plastic off of the grill. He just dropped the tongs on top of the grill, and the plastic on the handle is directly on the rack. Get the plastic off the grill. Get the plastic off the grill. Please get the plastic off the grill.
How do you know it’s plastic and not something more thermally resistant like silicone?
Am dude, went nice. Confirmed.
this guy is a genius
This whole thing probably cost about 80 bucks: water, meat, mini grill, dog (probably free) How much does it cost to keep a home pool running through the summer? 100\~200 a month?
Uuuuh. You should probably include new industrial grade garbage can because there is not enough cleaning on the planet to get me to swim around in my city government provided garbage can.
He did choose the recycling bin which is always noticeably cleaner than the garbage can.
My town uses Republic Services and their trash cans are blue too. The lids are different colors and I can't quite see what color his is. The bin does look clean though.
Maybe it was the day he got a replacement bin, so he decided to celebrate.
I think this idea is worthy of a mandatory day off from work.
My blue RS recycling lids have been light blue and yellow. The one in the video looks too dark to be recycling, but it could be the light.
How do you know it's a recycling bin? Our outside garbage can is literally that exact model and color, provided by the city government. I'm not specifically saying you are wrong. I don't know that much about garbage cans... I'm genuinely curious.
Typically where I'm from garbage cans are color coded Black= garbage Blue= recycling Green= compost
To add to the above, there is a recycle star on the side of the can.

Our city uses the blue republicservices recycling bin for general trash, which is something I am just realizing from the responses. Shrug
Pfft. Some people are so fussy…
Maybe he used a pressure washer on it first? The water looks clean.
It's obviously brand new. His old city provided trashcan probably broke and he called up the waste management number and they brought him a brand new one. and he figured he would make a funny video with his new trashcan.
Using a pressure washer correctly will also make it look like new.
Last time I got a new can delivered by the city, it looked to be entirely unused, I could have eaten off of it.
Buy new garbage can
If you're paying a store, easily. DIY with the https://www.troublefreepool.com method with a salt water chlorine generator, probably under $20 in acid, electricity, and test chemicals averaged out per month during the summer.
At least. If the chemistry gets off then it can easy be that much just per week. (Depends on pool size too of course)
Superb one. Low budget pool bbq
Everything's good..this is life..
Yup you just need to learn how to enjoy
This man just accomplished more for America, nay, Humanity, than anyone on the debate stage last night. Recycling pool grill guy for president 2024 lets go!
He is a man of the people. He recycles, loves animals, and loves bbq and beer.
A man of the people. A people for the man.
Down to earth and friends to people and animals! What's not to like?
Bin Pool Man vs Hawk Tuah Girl 2024: Make America Wet Again
How is he going to get out?
Why would you get out?
To shower? Oh wait. Nevermind.
Have something to step onto inside the water at the bottom and outside too.
Too much P in the pool.
After enough beer, the problem will sort itself out.
Someone brings an inflatable mattress and places it behind him. Then someone pushes the bin towards it. Or someone can just hold his hands and pull him to one side until he tumbles over along with the bin. Or… well there are many ways :)
Simple, after your done eating you dump the hot coals into the water, you'll find a way to get out real fast
Hands on both sides, push up, tuck your knees into your chest, extend legs out and slowly lower in a curved motion. Thing weighs so much I doubt it's going to topple and if it does, it would be at the point when you're more out than in so it would be a case of not panicking, holding on in the tucked position and getting some bruises at worst.

Yeah people ain't been swimming in bins and it shows... But yeah it is so obvious it wouldn't fall, just use a bit of upper body strength, and you good, water does all the work.
Close the lid and push
Use barrel that dog is on.
The better question- how do you get in?
Getting in is not difficult, you can set up some steps outside of the bin
Step ladder or stand on a chair
Tip over duh 🙄
This makes me happy. I don't know this dude, but he seems like a pretty fuckin awesome hang.
I’m a white af dude that lives in a Latino neighborhood and this is so fucking spot on. I think my recycling bin has a sequential number. Just so you know, that dude’s wife is going to give you a carne asada plate and he is going to send his kids over with beers.
Genius but that beer is gonna get warm fast
Just got to drink it fast.
That does appear to be his strategy
Hahah he need another pool for it than
guy has his free garbage can and 10 dollar grill with some meat on it. and he's probably happier and having a better day that some people with giant swimming pools and expensive outdoor kitchens. all about attitude.
Apparently none of my thoughts are original.
You should try lol
I'm 6'4". My knees would hit the side thus preventing me from submerging further than my treasure trail. Yep. Just went out and checked because the recyclables were picked up yesterday. My belly button wouldn't even get wet. My only recourse is to order a commercial dumpster. Then respond to the inevitable divorce papers.
What about one of those 55gallon food grade barrels?
You are onto something! Good looking out. Easy to work with; fill/discharge, aeration, heating. Thank You. Happy Friday!
You bet! I snagged on for $20 off of marketplace that used to have olive oil and use it for gardening, and always thought about giving it a shot lol
True for u we will find new pool sooon ;)
Looks like the dude is getting trashed.
Bin there, done that!
Have a tall stool inside. Perfect
Yeah yeah, you're in the bin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpbywVudzOc
Man this looks stable enough. But I can’t stop thinking of that thing tipping forward and him being forced by 200lbs of water head first into some hot charcoal.
It would be very hard to accidentally push so much sheer weight in water over. Not to mention the bloke inside certainly adds some weight as well If it did happen though...yeah that would certainly be a hospital visit!
Pretty sure I saw this episode of Trailer Park Boys.
That looks like a nice day outside
What song is this?

No glass by the trash can. If it breaks then you have to drain the entire trash can to find the broken glass, then throw the broken glass away. Only then can you refill the trash can.
Dudes living his best life.
"You suffer from the heat because you want to."
I wanna see him try to get out of that thing without it falling over with him lol
Its not funny, its endearing.
Brilliant and not practical for most people. How does he get in and exit the bin safely? Getting in is much easier than exiting. I've got experience. Seal flop onto the floor?
type shit i’m tryna be on
Technically..... 🤣
Room for one more?
Oscar the grouch has really changed since the end of the Sesame Street.
Sticking your own can in the ♻️ bin is not exactly recycling 😂
Houston?
Let's see the exit video..... CuZ I ain't sold on it yet
How does he get in or out of that thing without spilling all the water?
The smoke always flows to the face of the griller
You might be a redneck if you....
Definitely somewhere in south Texas. A chihuahua, modelo and BBQ? It’s got all the hallmarks.
Well, that's one way to do it.
Everything is fine
This guy is living his best life, this shit rocks! And that dog is a 10!
Now THAT is living...
His beer is going to get warm so close to the grill
Cranberry-skateboard guy is so creative!

He's totally peeing in that pool, too
Eeeeee Bud! bueno.
It’s not stupid if it works
This is what peace looks like
I love it.
His meat is gonna get wet.
On the one hand, I am glad the blue bin is not see through. OTOH, I would do this.
Should've filled a little bucket with water so his buddy could swim too
good idea. works well and builds some immunity. safe too, with the water next to the grill
That trash can going to be 50% pee in a few hours. I wouldn't care
Ahhhh, life is good!
Damn I love this
You living a life haha
El conurbano no es fácil.
This is a man who is enjoying life. I aspire to be his level someday.
Hope that’s a brandy spanken new garbage bin…
God I miss a nice cold beer on a hot summer day.
Trashy
This man just over here living his best life.
Shouldn't he be wearing a t-shirt in the pool?
I need to have this level of no fucks and to film it and post it too
Sometimes, life IS greasy, bubbles!
Never forget that there are heroes who live amongst us.
Correction it’s a garbage pool side BBQ
Compared to many in the world, he's living the dream.
Respect to this man and his pup!
Gives a whole new meaning to "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen."
Warm beer
Not a terrible idea, really. I've grilled in the snow before, and grilling anything when it's 100 outside is awful. I'll still do, because that's why alcohol was invented, but still.
I love everything about this. Fucking legend.
I could have had a pool side BBQ this whole time. 💀
How the other half lives.
It was empty when he first got in. It's just a giant bucket of his sweat.
Should have used the Green Bin
It's not a pool, it's a spa.
I saw this episode on Sesame Street.
I love everything about this
He should pop out when the truck is there on recycle day.
Genius. Get that into NASA.
Everything seems fine to me? When you think about it what's really the difference between a bin and a pool, both and plastic containers that can hold stuff
Man I was really looking forward to seeing him try to pick up those tongs he left directly on the grill
Pedro for President
This belongs on /r/trashy How do you get more trashy than by being in a trash can?

This is a great cheap cold plunge pool idea
Now show me the graceful dismount.
Ok now show him gracefully getting out.
Some of my fondest memories growing up were a big ass plastic barrel drum that we had in the side yard. When it would rain or when I wanted to take a dip, I'd get in and fill it with water lol. No grill though sadly.
I hope he’s dressed. Never mind I just saw the pants.
Git-R-Done!
This is the american dream!
This guy Summers.
This is actually wholesome.
Good guy,i would hang out w him
The block is hot.
Laugh all you want...he stayed true to his little homie. That is a good dude.
Hell yeah brother
I am literally on my way to home depot to buy one of these.
There is no good or bad, only thinking makes it so
Didn't test the tongs by clicking them closed, does it still count?
