Plastic Storage Bin


how to separate plastic storage bins / totes?

By · Friday, February 12th, 2010

Hi, Does any one have any suggestions for separating those plastic storage bins, like Rubbermaid, Yaffa, and Sterilite? I just bought three 18 gallon totes and by the time I got them home, they’re stuck as if they’ve been crazy glued together! They’re too big and too rigid to try to “peel” them apart. Help! Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

If you have a air compressor then shoot some high pressure air between them & that works every time.

If you leave them where its cold, I think the temp. will shrink them.

Put ice in the inner one, and put the outer one in a hot bathtub or sink, if large enough. Cold shrinks the inner, heat expands the outer, and Presto!
