    Give them $5 to put the box just outside the store, and tell them there’s another $5 for them if they call when it’s full.

    Putting it inside could be a bit of a fire hazard, so I bet they’d be more receptive to it being outside

      That was my thought (outside deposit), as a shade tree welder I was thinking of building the box in a way that would contain a thermal runaway or a bad actor setting it alight

      I didnt think about incentivizing the placement/collection process. I will definitely use that model, thanks!

        If it’s gonna be heavy AF anyway, might as well add some sand to the bottom. To protect the concrete in case of a runaway.

        Good luck!

          Yeah they are going to be heavy, it will help with them no being stolen/kicked over.

          I like the sand idea, great for fire and would had more ballast to make them hard to move/vandalize. Plus keep it in bags to make it easier to move later on. Thanks!
