What can fit in a 50-gallon bin?

It holds bulky items like comforters, pillows, off-season clothing, decorations and sports gear. The 40 by 22 by 18 inch interior suits large, light loads rather than many small items.

Can these bins be stacked?

Yes. The deep recessed lid is designed to stack securely. Keep the heaviest bin at the bottom and avoid stacking too high.

Is the lid airtight or waterproof?

No. It is a snap-on lid, not a sealed gasket lid, so it is fine for dust and clutter but not for damp basements or outdoor use.

Is it clear so I can see contents?

No. The bin is gray and opaque, so label the outside if you need to identify contents.

Is it good for moving or dorm packing?

Yes. The large capacity suits packing bedding, clothing and dorm essentials, though a full bin is heavy to carry.

Our take on the Sterilite 50 Gal Extra-Large Plastic Storage Bin with Snap-On Lid

The Sterilite 50 Gal Storage Bin is a large plastic tote with a snap-on lid, sized at 40 by 22 by 18 inches. Its square shape and deep recessed lid let bins stack securely to save vertical space, and the broad rim and textured handles help with lifting heavy loads. It suits basement, attic and garage storage of bedding, off-season clothing, decorations and sports gear, and it works for packing dorm essentials. Against smaller totes it holds far more per bin, but it is heavy when full and not clear, so contents are hidden rather than visible.
