Amazon.com Product Description
The Fiskars HardShell Kangaroo Container has the same unique pop-up design of the standard Kangaroo Bag, which holds itself open to free both hands for gathering and loading. This collapsible, 30-gallon container is perfect for yard waste and debris collection. Its HardShell bottom prevents your Kangaroo from tearing as you drag heavy loads across gravel and pavement. Holes positioned in the HardShell bottom allow for ventilation and water drainage. It has a unique coiled internal skeleton that creates a sturdy container. The Kangaroo's durable polyvinyl and polyester construction makes it tear-, UV-, and mildew-resistant. The container also has cushioned handles to make carrying a load more comfortable, and can be used with or without a standard trash bag.

The size and weight of this bucket make it perfect for emptying all my wastebaskets. A 33-gallon trash bag fits inside it perfectly, stretching tightly around the top so it doesn’t fall inside when a can full of stuff is dumped into it. I’ve searched unsuccessfully for ages for some type of cart to meet this need but find this bucket is ideal. It weighs practically nothing and collapses easily after use to store in a closet.
I’ve always hated emptying the household trash into the black plastic bags with stuff spilling everywhere. I don’t pre-line every can in the house, nor do I have enough trash to warrant emptying daily, so my weekly trek is often very annoying as I go from room to room with an uncooperative floppy black bag in tow. This spring bucket has just made my life much more pleasant. I purchased a larger version as a Christmas present and was so taken with its ability to collapse and store when not in use, I ordered this one for myself hoping it would meet my inside need. It does indeed, with 5 stars.
It springs up fully and has a sturdy slick material on the sides, which gives it good stability and a smooth interior so the filled trash bag is easy to pull out without getting caught on the spring bands. The hard shell bottom allows it to slide easily over floor or carpet so pulling it from room to room is easy.
I know it has lots of other uses both inside and out, but for me this one job makes it well worth the price and makes trash day relatively painless–finally.

I purchased this item two weeks ago and mainly use it with a bag to pick up leaves and weeds. It works great and it fills my needs exactly. The one thing you have to make sure and do is place the yard waste exactly in the middle or it will fall over due to the loose sides but this is ok since it collapses and is easy to store away. Great item.

Works great. Should last longer since bottom is plastic shell. Holes in bottom allow water to drain. A tad difficult to empty into a plastic bag – need to use at least 39 gallon bag.

We got this to use as an outside trash can for camping. The reinforced bottom is great incase you have overloaded the bag and need to drag it to a dumpster. Well worth the few extra dollars for the hard plastic bottom versus the standard plastic version. Yes, I realize this is a garbage can, but we could not be happier with it.

This is the same great collapsible container with a new twist. It now has a hard shell bottom. I really liked my previous model except the cloth edging on the bottom wore out exposing the wire frame. This new model addresses that problem perfectly. It costs more but will last much longer.
