Off Road Trash Sledge

Off Road Trash Sledge
the Methuen Rail Trail is in its infancy so there is lots of off road trash and the rail bed is not yet wheel friendly.
I needed some way to get deep inaccessible unbaggable trash out to the trail head without breaking my back. This sledge should slide over the rough surface, gravel and rail road ties. Because it's made of recycled low grade materials I expect it to only last a couple of years but when it goes to the great recycle bin in the sky, another one can be made in a pinch.

Assemble materials
Luckily one of my tenants had tossed a couple of children's sleds. Because of their lightness, I just left them stacked 2 deep, hopefully it will last longer than a single sled.
I wanted to use a heavy gauge rubbermaid bin, but i couldn't find one to recycle.
I did have to buy the nylon rope and the fasteners. By using longer bolts and wing nuts and soft washers, the lightweight plastic bin can be removed when it gets broken and replaced with another one.
