I have at least a hundred of those litter buckets living in my barn,
they come in handy for all sorts of chores, and they nest so take
little room.... they are very good for hauling water to distant plants
during a dry spell, I load up twenty in my cart and haul them by
tractor. The litter pans in my car are new, never used for litter. I
have several brand new never used cat litter pans stored in my
basement, a few sizes, even tiny ones for kittens. I not an hour ago
brought in two litter buckets filled with cucumbers. I leave a few of
those buckets in my garden, they are also good for tossing in stones
and then lugging them to be dumped elsewhere. I always leave those
empty buckets lying on their side so small critters can't fall in.
