What that means for totes

Our reading: event days at a stadium mean caterers, cleaners and vendors, who use liquids by the drum and tote. Households here are the other half of the market.

If you ask from a home, tell us the yard size and what you plan to hold.

Before you buy in Miami Gardens, think about event weekends. A stadium crowd brings traffic that can close the streets around you, so keep any outdoor tote strapped in case of wind.

Our reading: Miami Gardens is mostly residential, with the stadium and event traffic generating plenty of wash-down and cleaning-product use nearby. Event contractors, caterers and cleaners may hold totes for concentrate, so name the product and say if the tote is clean. Households asking about rain collection should use a shaded pad, a screen over the inlet and a lid, since this part of Miami-Dade gets the same heavy summer rain as the coast.

Event and catering users should also say whether the totes were ever filled with anything other than water or detergent, since leftover sugary liquids attract insects and spoil in the Florida heat.

Households should also count the downspouts; a roof with two downspouts can fill one tote in a single summer storm while the other overflows past it.
