Request: large Hefty storage bin lids x2 Expired - these Hefty bins used to be sold at Lowe's but they are apparently changing over to their in-house brand and aren't stocking Hefty any more. So just in case you happen to have unused lids, I'm looking for two of the large lids about 24 inches by 16 inches. They are used with bins that have blue 'locking' handles that fold up over the short edge of the lid. I don't need the bins, just the lids, but if you want to get rid of both bin and lid, that also solves my problem :) I will pick up from a location of your convenience. Thank you and happy new year!
