Thanks for the pictures 911. I'll definitely look into adding to my current bin collection of one, LoL. I'll probably stick to the transparent ones like you did, hehe.

I use a recycling bin. Nice and strong -- holds a lot too. But I think the clear ones you have pictured are better -- esp since you can see the items.

The sides on the transparent ones are also completely vertical so you can get more in them than the standard blue or grey Rubbermaid bins. Three of the clear ones will fit between the fenderwells in most vans and pickups. I'm just full of useless information!!! Anything else?

I use totes as well. I like the idea of being able to cram alot into one bin, and seeing whats inside. Also helps keep dust/dirt off pads and towels if you like to drive with all the windows down like I do.

Hmm, I find that even the biggest one they sell fits in my trunk. You should find one that fits snugly in yours. It helps a lot when everything is not rolling around losing their liquids lol

I have 4 tupperware boxes. 2 for Pads (6.5in in one, 4in in the other), 1 for holding my MF towels, and that huge one that usually stays in my trunk for mobile/whatever I need it purposes.

Quite useful for anything you need. Especially if there's liquids that can spill out then you are covered from it soaking into your carpet

16oz bottle= 1 lbs or so. that equates to 1lbs traveling at 35mph. 35lbs point of impact rating. like getting hit with a weight. imagine at 60mph??

And that, my friends, is why my stuff is all in bins! I can two foot my brake pedal at 50mph and NOTHING in my van moves.

I picked up the same bins as Carlos I believe, the were grey with the split lid, on half price at one point this year, what a steal. Walmart also had these huge black bins on for 6 bucks, now that was a huge steal
