Ok, not the last one, but still.
Also, my son has a shop vac that attaches to the bucket. He bought it at Home Depot. We also have bigger shop vac.
EDIT: Oh, I see. "This item is not available to purchase online."
Trespassing? No - still a crime.
Recycling? No - that's a crime as well in most states I've lived regardless of where the bins are located. On your property it's your property, on the curb it is the property of the waste collection company and taking recycling is theft - most likely because it's money generating. I believe that is county specific for me but could be statewide.
I can't say what the "spackling buckets" are going to be used for but if just requires cleaning and is recyclable then many construction sites will recycle. In fact, the job might require that stuff to be recycled to qualify for certain certifications at the end of the job. These are related to green building certifications like Leed.
To answer for your supreme court ruling, probably referring to Greenwood vs California? That would not fly in WA state at least where *state* level laws would increase protections for residents and garbage is seen as inviolate insofar as searches by government employees without a court order. That doesn't discuss random people going through it though. So I'm not 100% if it's at the curb - still 100% illegal if it's on the person's property.
So while you're stealing stuff from a construction site and trying to justify it - you may still be breaking the law. I mean - you're definitely breaking the law by entering the property and taking trash. Possibly two laws involved there.
begs the questions: 1) what price are you looking for? 2) what do you want for two dollars?

the normal Lowe's and HD work good with the weight. Harbor Freight not that good, they flex inwards. white drywall buckets tend to break/crack. the best/strongest bucket ever used were green for pickles from a restaurant.
my local store doesn't have any, but Thursday will be going by one that bs says they have 88, so hopefully will still have a few.
HDPE right now is about 30% more expensive per lb than these buckets. And I use HDPE for a lot of things. (Since these HDPE buckets are not food safe, it means they are already made from recycled HDPE so it will require a bit less heat, and pressure for me to reform.
You'd be amazed what you can make with plastic, a heavy duty shredder, a hydraulic press, and an oven. 😀

PS: Man the Lowes bucket is fuuuugly though!
I'd rather go with dark blue than bright ass orange from HomeDep.. Or bugar green from Menards
