Garbage Can Lock Keep Animals From Tipping Over Garbage Can
I made this simple “garbage can lock” to keep animals and high winds from tipping over my garbage can. I drilled a hole through the top of a 3-ft. length of square tubing and inserted a short 3/8-in. dia. rod through it, then bent the rod down to form a hook that doubles as a handle. I also welded the top of the tubing shut to keep leaves and snow out.
To lock the can in place I drive the tubing into the ground until the rod is about 1 in. above the can’s dump bar, and then latch the hook onto it. To unlock the can I just lift the rod out of the tubing. I sell my garbage can lock for $45 including S&H (U.S. only).
