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 HardShell Kangaroo Container features a unique toggle-and-loop closure system that’s easy to use. This bag features a convenient dump handle allowing for easy disposal of its contents. When expanded, the container measures 28 inches high with a 22-inch diameter and weighs 4-1/2 pounds. It is covered by a 2-year warranty.

All sorts of uses…yard cleanup, fill it with ice for cooling party beverages, laundry hamper, trash. We love it. Very sturdy, too.

I used this to help pick up fallen limbs in the yard and was happy with the volume it was able to hold. Very sturdy the hard bottom is a must for jobs like this. Have not had it long and hope it will hold up to a lot of abuse.

Amazon ran this item for $20.99 in past three weeks; this is a screaming deal, because I purchased my first one for $30. I jumped on this again because I have had mine for over three years, and it gets a heavy workout. I don’t need another one, but I’m getting one for my brother as a gift. So far, the handles have held up magnificently on mine. I’ve used it for tree branches and other bush clippings, and this is just the best thing ever. It would make a great gift for any gardener.

We camp quite often and anyone who owns a motorhome knows that space limited. I bought 3 of these containers and I am SO glad that I did. I have looked a long time for ones that are big enough to fit my needs and these are better than expected. When open, they are just over 2 ft. tall and 22" wide. I use one in our motorhome bedroom for a hamper (there are 4 of us) and the other 2 are for outside garbage cans. These containers fit a large 33 gallon garbage bag (we use the Kirkland brand black drawstring bags from Costco) and they fit the bags perfectly. Just a tad snug, but not stretched. The hard plastic bottom is wonderful. It extends up the sides about 2", so no worries of rips or tears from rocks, brush etc. They fold down simply to about 4" thick. We have had ours for about a year now and they are in great condition. Rinse with a hose and air dry. I love these and highly recommend.

I had been looking all over for this product after seeing it on HGTV. Have not used as of yet but feel it will make yard clean up a lot easier. Nice and compact for easy storage.

Very handy when pruning and weeding. Don’t have to lug a large and heavy trash container. Stores easily in a small space. However, the bottom is easily cut by small branches. I have already used duct tape to repair after less than a month.

I LOVE my Fiskars garden container. I have a large yard with a garden and many flower beds. During the summer months I work in my yard daily and I always use my fiskars container. It is much lighter than a regular trash can and I can take it with me as I move around my yard. We also use it in the fall when we rake leaves. I always have at least 3 of these in use.

First class item, but my wife and I are still using the old coal bucket, bags, and a tarp to haul stuff. This looks nice; the others are wellworn; so it adds to the appearance of my garage.

This product replaced an older Fiskars container. This product is very handy for grass trimmings when catching the grass and putting it in a plastic bag. This product saves time and is easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone who catches their grass clippings.
