Why you’d want it: If you inject daily, a small bin fills in a couple of months and then you're carrying it to a drop-off again. The big one is a once-a-year job.
Picking tip: Buy the size you'll fill inside a year — a bin should be sealed and taken away when it's full or after a year, whichever comes first. Check it has a permanent lock position, and that your local drop-off accepts that size before you buy the three-pack.
