I'm new (posted intro here) and have a question.

I saw this video on using cement mixing tubs and clear plastic storage bins to contain bedding and messes. The video is from 2018. The clear plastic storage bin referenced in the video, Rubbermaid Keepers size 23" x 16.75" x 6", appears to be a now discontinued item. What is a good replacement brand of container to use that is roughly the same size? I'm in the US if that helps.

They are not discontinued. You can get them at home depot.

Do you have a link to the product on the Home Depot web site?

I re-watched the video. It's a 28 quart storage bin. I found a few similar sized bins at other stores.

Has anyone tried the commercial quality bins? They're typically used in restaurants and are made of a much thicker and durable plastic. A downside is that they aren't easily cut to make a cut out for cage ramps and other things.

Update:

I finally got bins to put into the Critter Nation

If anyone is wondering, the top box is a Room Essentials 28 quart under bed storage box (22 7/8" x 16 5/8" x 6") from Target. The bottom box is a Room Essentials 41 quart under bed storage box (29 1/4" x 18 1/4" x 6") also from Target. Similar sized boxes in other brands would work as well.

My rat now has full access to the entire cage. She was a bit timid at first but soon discovered the now open ramp to the bottom level.

The cage is still pretty boring 😐 My Etsy order hasn't been shipped yet. Understandable since some of the items are handmade to order.
