Recycling Containers Zip Ties

Where exactly are the recycling containers ziptied because their are no holes around the edges of the lid?

Re: Recycling Containers Zip Ties

If you look at the videos, the zipties are right next to the handles. You'll probably need to drill your own holes.

Re: Recycling Containers Zip Ties

There are small holes already, specifically for seals or locks. At least, our yellow tote was sealed shut.

Hey, Don, that's a TOTE, not a RECYCLING CONTAINER.

Re: Recycling Containers Zip Ties

But where are the GREEN recycling CONTAINERS going to be ziptied, if at all? The lids on these easily fall off and there is no obvious place to ziptie them

From the FieldTour video: "the lid is secured onto the container with cable ties."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sryrCE4mAo#t=200

You can see them in the video, but I haven't been able to find anything that gives specific dimensions.

Sounds like good fodder for a Q & A question.
