The following trade journal article and field trial report are not to be construed as an endorsement for any specific product. However, the research did draw some conclusions: larger capacity bins that have an open top work the best and are the easiest to use.

The original open-top Covered Bridge Organic design out-performed the rest of the field. Our current smaller design maintains these attributes along with added features and the option of having a lid.
