If you're gonna buy one, I highly recommend this. It's a bit sturdier than most hampers. They are also wider, and have stake holes at the bottom for securing them to prevent falling over during winds (or buffonery). You can get them at Wal-mart too, and it may be priced better. I bought 2 of these 3 years ago (one for trash, one for recycling), and they serve our camp of ~30 people. They have held up phenomally well.
