It's big and has a sliding door on the side but the hole is high so I always step back and throw it up there. I had never used a dumpster-type contraption before I moved here. I actually like it but would not want it near my own house. It's about a block away.
Water. During the day I salvage as much reusable water as I can. Then I take it outside and use it to water the plants out front. This morning I threw it on the spider plants (it was their turn).
A ball. Even though it's been quite a while since I played cricket, the umpire has to keep the ball during intervals, then I throw it to the bowler when play is about to resume.
