I would get the carry all and put plywood on it and add 3 sides to prevent it falling off. It would be better balanced on tractor, safer, more useful, can see over the bucket (those garbage cans can be tall), and easier to add on/off the tractor.
I have one of these and used it quite a bit when I was clearing land and cutting firewood. I put 2x8's on the bottom and back and plywood sides. I could carry about 1/3 cord of wood on the back. At that time I did not have a FEL.

Welcome DmFahie,
If you have the tools you could fab a simple frame and add grating or wire mesh.
Then fab a hook to go over the top lip of the tractor bucket. Drive up tilt, lift and drive to the curb.

Some good ideas being discussed. Really like Phil's idea.
I like the one that utilizes the car hitch simply because it's one less cold start for the tractor. I know myself or my wife will be driving to the end of the driveway everyday in the truck, but not necessarily the tractor. So one of us will always be able to transport the cans to the curb because we're going there anyway.
I know that's kind of a picky reason. Some of you guys may be on your tractor everyday around the house so it may not apply to you.
Me? I gotta work for a living.

I can see myself now going down the road at 50mph with the garbage in tow.
Just thought of another use for the car adaptor. Buy a new, clean garbage can, and you can use it to carry extra luggage. You might think that is stupid, but no one is going to be stealing stuff from it at rest stops.
I knew an advanced amateur photographer who carried all his expensive equipment in a diaper bag. Never had anything stolen...

Hi all
Here is somthing I put together last summer when I was putting on a new roof and used it to put tear off in . Since these pics' were taken I've put corrugated metal sheeting on 3 sides and the bottom . It works great as a carry all / dump box etc. This was made from a glass rack from a comercial glass shop . They were throwing a bunch out a while ago and I went dumpster diving.
