Drainage holes in the bottom of the trash can?

It will cause dirty arse trashcan water to seep everywhere. Don't do it.

i've done it with no problems. i say go for it.

I did this on an older one that had a warped lid. Ours are provided by the city. The way my driveway is sloped, and where I sit my cans, I just drilled one hole in the center at the bottom of the front of the can. It doesn't come flying out, but it will drain and I didn't have that nasty water sitting in the bottom. I think the damage happened when the garbage truck lifted it one day. We have those with the claw that grabs them, and lifts them into a smaller dumpster on the front of the truck. It slams them pretty hard and shakes them to get all the trash out, and I'm guessing the lid got caught on something and it smashed it pretty good.

Have drilled holes in ever one I own....never had a problem at all. stays cleaner and less stagnet and stank

Bleach your cans once a month.

Just dump a jug of dollar tree bleach in there and close the lid.

I have always drilled holes in mine with no problems

And as far as the lid, it's only left open after the trash guys leave it open.

I thought about this yesterday when it was almost full of water
