Where Can I Locally Find Plastic Bins with Handles and Wheels?

Where can I find Inexpensive Plastic Bins with Handles and Wheels For Shore Diving?

I stopped by a Walmart (Mill Creek) today and could not find any large plastic bins with wheels and handle. I am going diving tomorrow with a friend around 3:30 p.m. at the Edmonds Underwater Park, so I plan on going to HomeDepot and Lowes early tomorrow.

Everyone is welcome to join us and partake in the hot chocolate around 5:00 p.m. Look for two giggling women dressed as seals in neoprene.

If you want something with large wheels, don't forget to look at the plastic wheelbarrows and lawn carts.

Your best bet would be to enlist the services of a couple gear sherpas, though the bins may well be more reliable.
The usual places, maybe try a different WallyWorld, K-Mart, Target, etc. Look in the automotive section too, for some reason they wind up in those departments a lot.

I got mine at Lowes for about $20.

Lowes or Home Depot.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I went to Lowes this morning and found a long rubbermaid tub with wheels on one end, but unfortuantely I could not fit it in my trunk! Maybe I need to buy a car with a bigger trunk?

I ended buying three containers (without wheels) for various equipment. Happy Diving!

Well, it doesn't look like they have a store near you, but these work great.....

I've loaded mine up with everything, gear, weights, tanks, whatever. No problems, plus they're built heavy enough to double as a bench to sit on while gearing up.
I even use mine as a rinse tank.

You can pick up some fairly decent little folding hand trucks like these: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=92202

(gotta have big tires)
There are always the little red wagons, too.

Pardon me for barging in on the Orca turf, but I saw some people shore diving with something like this yesterday: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00959027000. It sounds like what you're looking for and looked like a pretty sweet setup. BC, regs, fins - basically everything but tanks fit in nice little compartments in the box, which had big wheels and a handle and appeared to roll effortlessly. The divers sat on their boxes to put on their gear too, which looked handy.

Not sure if this is the exact model, and it's not exactly cheap, but I may be visitng my local Sears store soon too see if I can find what they had now that I've rusted through my third cute little red wagon.
