We always thought it was so clever the way my Dad devised a clamp to attach the garbage barrel to the garage door so that it was elevated two or three feet above the ground, preventing the neighborhood dogs from being able to knock it over and strew the contents all over the sidewalk, as previously had occurred. Also, my Dad figured out that if you drill little holes all over the barrel the people who live down the street will no longer be tempted to steal the garbage barrel to use for water storage. Very clever, we always thought.
