Things that you will need

•    You will need a wheelie trash bin, you can choose a 45-gallon multi-purpose bin in this case. Go for a firm one which has thick plastic walls. This will last longer.

•    A few concrete blocks

•    Hinges. You can choose stainless steel though to avoid corrosion.

•    A jigsaw and some jigsaw blades

•    You will also need a drill and some bits

•    Next important tool is a measuring tape

Procedure to make a wheelie bin

•    First, start your process of creating a wheelie bin with a permanent marker and a measuring tape. Mark all the areas where you will want the door or the flap to be. 

•    Now the areas which you have marked using a permanent marker, drill a hole into it. You will have to cut the four sides. Now, use a jigsaw and cut out the flap. It’s alright if you need some time to do it. Just make sure to cut it as straight as possible. 

•    For the next step, you will need the marker again. Mark the position of the barrel and hinges to fix the position of the screw holes. 

•    Now, get the screws and screw the barrel and holes but on the outside of the flap.

•    Again mark the position of the hinges and barrel to fix the position of the screws on the outside door or flap. 

•    Use the drain grate piece to mark the holes where you wish to put the main air holes. For this, you will need to use the marker once again. 

•    Now push the drain pieces. Check if it is fitted tightly. If yes, then you don’t need to use the adhesive glue. But, just to be extra cautious you can use the glue. To do as such, run a dot of paste along within the edge of the deplete piece where it will contact the gap in the container. Try not to stress, the paste does not stream to within the canister, where it could possibly get blended into the manure. 

•    For extra wind current, penetrate gaps in the canister's top

This way your very own wheelie bin is ready to use. Easy right. Just make sure to gather all the required tools and things to create a working wheelie bin. Follow all the steps carefully and you are good to go.
