Abstract
A trash can trolley utilized to tow trash cans of the conventional, single-handle, wheeled type, with or without hinged lids. In a preferred embodiment, the trolley consists of six metal pieces welded together to form a unitary body. The trolley can be easily attached to almost any common trailer hitch (car, tractor, four wheeler). The nuts, bolts, hitch pins, washers, etc. needed to secure the trolley in position are readily available at any hardware store. The trolley is capable of towing fifty and ninety gallon trashcans. The trashcan trolley requires no maintenance, except for occasional oiling to prevent rusting.
