Rubbermaid FG264560BLA BRUTE 44 Gal Lid, Black

Raccoons were having a feast every night with my rubbish. I've had the Rubbermaid Brute trash barrels for some time but never purchased the matching covers because of the expense (the lids cost about as much as the can AND lid of a typical residential plastic bin.) Now I know why, it's because they're worth it! Several nights each week my trash was turned onto a varmint buffet. I would securely fasten the lids, weight them down even double bagged. Didn't matter, every morning it'd be the same mess. I finally ordered these covers but my expectations were not high. I was wrong. The Lids for the Brutes are as tough and well made as the barrels. The latching design of the lids is not obvious but works perfectly. You secure them at night, they're still tightly attached in the morning. The raccoons have not gotten a crust of bread since. I know this is a long winded way to recommend a trash can cover but they make Me smile every morning as I wonder whether the coons are getting skinny or have found another guy who hasn't realized what a bargain a trash can cover can be.

I use these lids with my rolling Brute cans I got from Home Depot. They fit great and I have had absolutely no issues. Note that they form a precise seal and require no obstructions around the lip of your can like a leaf, mud, etc. to properly sit on the can.

These lids are stronger, somewhat heavier than the originals, which tended to come off in moderate windy conditions. They really snap on tightly, and stay on.

Ok

Works like a charm fits like a glove. Name brand to match my trash can. Also found a set of wheels for it in another review if you need it. Great combo. Great product, a little expensive for a lid I thought, but I needed one.
