Large Blue Boy

I bought a 42 gal. waste tote which I will roll to a close dump site or will drive in the bed of my truck (filled with macerator pump assistance) if distance / road conditions require. My problem is that once I pull it out of the basement I can't figure out how to secure it. Unlike other items there is no handle through which it can be chained down (like the portable gen. and fuel tanks). Any suggestions?

I have never had one wander off. The loop on the handle will take a cable lock just fine.

filling it up will also slow them down.

Good idea. The handle is easy to remove but anyone who wanted to take it would realize the no handle problem.....awkward weight. Thanks.

I don't worry about it. Just don't see a blue tote as a "High value" target. If you are cruising the campground looking for something to steal what are you going to take. My poo tank, or the neighbors cooler of beer?

I'll go for the beer if it's the right brand! You can keep your sh$t.

Now this is an excellent example of going off topic. Beer? By the way my preference is single malt scotch (back on topic)......it does not fill my tote as fast.
