I’m glad I came across this blog. I bought my brute at Sam’s Club and, of course, they advertised in the store that the dolly can be purchased online at Sam’s club.com. WHat they didn’t say was that it was $44. Lowe’s is by far the best price for this item and it works perfectly. My 32 gallon brute flows effortlessly from one corner of the garage to another and makes setting it out for the trash pickup a breeze. Good find.

[...] Finds: Rubbermaid’s Trash Can Dolly While it seems pretty pedestrian, the truth is: this trash can dolly’ll make your life easier. Rather than dragging your full ‘can out to the pick up spot — wearing you out and wearing a hole in the bottom of the ‘can — you can just roll, baby, roll. Commenters suggest some other benefits as well. [...]

I’ve seen them used as the base for creeper stools as well…..

I bought one (and a 44 gallon can) when I renovated my house, and used it to shuttle material out to the dumpster. Made the job a lot easier. Cover your wood floors with 1/4″ masonite or plastic if you do this, as the combo of wheels and ground plaster, drywall, nails, glass, cement, etc. can be really abrasive. Also, if this is the same dolly as mine, it also fits the 18 gallon cans, which make great planters but are difficult to move without the dolly. With it, it’s no big deal to tip them up onto it and repo them, then kick the wheels out from under. The dolly lives in my shop under the can and makes cleanup a breeze. It can folllow me around the entire house.

I bought one of these to go with my Brute the last time I had to replace my trash can and let me say that it is the best accessory for your trash can. It will pay for itself saving you from replacing your Brute after you wear a hole in it by dragging it along on the pavement. Plus those cans are so much easier to move when they’re full.
