The Garbage Commander is a garbage-hook system that allows you to safely move garbage cans.
Kurt Marling had a long, steep driveway and found that getting the garbage cans to the end of the driveway on pickup day was too much work.
“He would either have to lift the cans onto a trailer or try to bungee the handle around the ball of a receiver hitch to get them out,” son David says.
The Garbage Commander features four different garbage hook mounting styles: bolt mounted, receiver mounted, bumper mounted, and ball mounted.
It works with many different types of vehicles including ATVs, UTVs, passenger vehicles, golf carts, trucks, and SUVs.
“These things are durable,” Marling says. “We make them out of 11-ga. steel and they’re powder-coated to withstand the weather. Everything is made in America, right here in Janesville, Wis.”
“Every big, wheeled trash can has a lift bar in the front,” Marlin says. “One end of the coupler clips around that, and the other clips around the handle of the next garbage can.”
When using the coupler, it’s important to use the company’s Hold Down straps or PTO clips for safety.
Most garbage cans today are 60 to 90 gals., and the Garbage Commander is specifically designed for those sizes. “However, we have found that it works with smaller cans too,” Marling says. “If you’re using the Coupler, make sure the smallest can is at the end of the line.”
All of the company’s products are available for sale on its website. The receiver-mounted hooks range from $105 to $150, while the ball-mounted hooks cost between $45 and $115. The bumper-mounted hooks are $105 to $125, and the Can Coupler is $45.
They offer a combo hitch that is a ball-conversion tool allowing you to haul both pin-hitched or handled lawn and garden equipment without removing the hitch. The Universal Implement Hook Ball Mount is only $45.
