How far out do the cans fall? Would the cans fall into a 5 gallon bucket, or would I need a bigger container such as a recycling bin to catch them?

This thing is the bomb. I use it in a shed directly into a very large plastic bag but it should work with a 5 gallon bucket. It works perfectly every time. I recycle for my whole community and have really given it a workout. The directions suggest a height but I use mine just a little higher.

Easy Pull Customer Service, The short answer is yes, the can will drop into a separate container, regardless if it is a 30 gal container, recycling bin and yes even a 5 gallon bucket. The auto release feature is very consistent and will eject the can approx. 6" from the wall and as it descends closer to ground level the distance is about 10" from the wall. Providing you have available space on the floor the Easy Pull unit will dispense directly into the container of your choice each and every time. Although the removable Collection Bin holds a few less crushed cans it won't take up any valuable floor space and overall makes the recycling process easier.Hope this helps.

Three possibilities: IF you place a weight in the bottom during the original preparation (e.g., stainless steel washers/nuts, bolts etc - or just a suitable rock) then you can submerge the ENTIRE trap(?) in a five gallon bucket of water. You can place the entire trap in a plastic bag sealed at the top for a suitable period of time. Finally, just transport the entire trap in a sealed container to a dump area (a vacuckant lot?) and not worry about the few living flies in the trap. BTW, I generally take a bucket of water with me to the dump area for initial rinsing. You will want to wash these traps after dumps. They stink = they're effective!

Put the whole trap in a bucket of water, it only takes a very short while until the little buggers have drowned. Then simply open the lid and dump them in the trash, they'll be right at home.

The stand is metal, so unless the animals are bored or hungry, probably not. The bin is up off the ground by about 2 feet or more. We haven't had any problems like that, but we're not in a rural location. Good luck.

Hi I bought these to use in 55 gallon so that I had plenty of length so it would not fall down inside. they work fine

I have a huge raccoon problem and they have not gone in the box. I do not however keep anything in there that they want (pool toys, floats etc.) The top is most likely too heavy for them to lift and the plastic is thick enough that they won't chew through (they eat through our garbage cans). There is also a spot for a lock and I am sure this would keep them out for sure. I do have the Suncast decorative garbage holder and they have not gotten into there.

We used a Home Depot bucket and it worked fine. I assume all 5 gal buckets are the same, though.

No. They're meant for a tall can, so they don't have the circumference for a 5 gallon paint bucket.

That's a really good question. The holder is very persnickety about how yo load the cans, and my gut feeling is they won't fit.

I have cans from 10 ounces to 15.5 ounces in mine and they work very well love them.

My brother lives in Houston where the huge tree roaches (3-4 inches) come inside. He uses his spider catcher and says if you can catch them (they're fast) then the catcher holds them long enough to be released outside.

Actually, my experience has shown it will hold 10 average sized cans. But, it jams if cans are partially crushed before placing in the crusher.I'd like to add: When crushing cans, fill the hopper, then keep one hand free to help guide the cans into position as they drop. Main reason, is the taller cans tend to jam and not drop completely. Slowing down on crushing speed can help eliminate can popping off the top.

If the cans are empty this should work fine. However, if the cans could have liquid in them I would recommend a stronger grip such as [ Unger 92134 36-Inch Nifty Nabber Pick-Up Tool with Aluminum Handle ] , which can pick up full 15oz cans of food from above your head. Also, if you are going to use the grabber a lot (like picking up trash from a sporting event) I would suggest to spent the extra money and get the one I mentioned above.I also like [ Ettore 49036 Grip'n Grab Reach Tool, 32-Inch ] because it can pick up heavy things with ease.

Wagner says yes! I found using the one gal cans more convenient for moving the rig around as I sprayed, since the paint can handle clips onto the side. The 5 gal bucket may be a little more awkward than gal cans but should work fine.

I have a set of these. The ones I bought are 2.5 inches in diameter, a little smaller than a pop can.
