I want to know how/when this is resolved.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Which ever method you choose to use, the results will be most spectacular if you proclaim, "Hold my beer, watch this!" before proceeding. | |||

Ha! Keep the ideas coming if you got’em. Last night, I put a ton of dish soap between the two trash cans hoping to maybe get them slippery enough to separate, tried to pull them apart this morning. Still nothing....other than really slippery trash cans. I do have an air compressor, so I’ll give that a shot. In the video above, with the guy hammering at the cans, I gave that a shot, but those cans look more rigid, these are the flexible Rubbermaid type and they just absorb the hammer blows while mocking me. | |||

That’s my next option. | |||

Heat? Warm the exterior one up so it becomes more flexible. "We've done four already, but now we're steady..." | |||

Put a postage label on it, send it to yourself. By the time the PO handles it and gets it back to you, it is bound to break, thus solving YOUR problem!!! 2nd option....Maybe put both cans over a 20 pound bag of ice on the driveway on a warm day. The outside can gets warm, the inner can gets cold. Then try to pull them apart? ...You, higher mammal. Can you read? ....There's nothing sexier than a well worn, functional Sig! | |||

I am amazed the breadth and depth of knowledge shown here on SF. And the willingness of members to share it. And if no one can come up with a solution to a problem, the suggestion is always made to apply high explosives. I hope you guys never volunteer to work on my plumbing. Or my truck!

Before you go to the sell the house option, you should give this method a try. Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...LqU&feature=youtu.be "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

Spritz a second or so of starting fluid in that hole. Toss match at it. Don’t go stupid with the ether, done properly you’ll get hundreds of shots outta that trash can.  ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Are these the big ones with the attached flip lids? or regular plastic rubbermaid stuff? ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Regular plastic Rubbermaid ones. | |||

Just curious. Did you email Rubbermaid asking for their counsel, advice, and wisdom? Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Ha! Maybe I will. | |||

Gonna try the air compressor today. If that doesn’t work, I wonder if slicing the bottom trash can vertically near the top of the can could release some friction? To me that’d be cheating because it might ruin the can, but then again could always repair it with copious amounts of duct tape or something. | |||

If you drilled a couple holes in the bottom can, would that help eliminate any suction between the two? I already have a few holes in the bottom of my big square rolling cans, just for when the trash guys leave them open on rainy days.... ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Wouldn't that be cheating? Adding to what other people suggested: Open YouTube and search for "fastest way to inflate a tire". Or "how to separate stuck buckets". | |||

Heck, just let'em finish. Worst case you could have a bunch of small trash cans running around. | |||

They'd probably just send you 2 more (detached) trash cans and tell you to give up. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
