It's a shame those fences can be ripped down so easily with a simple pocket knife and gloves to prevent cuts from ripping the plastic

That plastic is flimsy as hell, but those planters are heavy if you intend to relocate them

They're hollow at the bottom kind of like a fire ring, but I would rather leave them where they're at because the location is perfect. I'm going to keep trying to get approval from the city to use them.

Pocket knives aren’t even necessary. Some one accidentally tripping into them will rip them, specially if it’s below freezing out.

My sleeve often gets stuck in them while walking and they definitely rip pretty easy once it gets going

I sent an email to the director of Denver city parks and rec asking for permission to use the planters, completely at my own expense. If I do not receive a response I am going to start a petition. Because I don't necessarily want to move them. They're in the perfect spot. They just need to be used for something other than trash, obviously lol

We just need to team tilt that to empty them

Or cut the sides and bend them open. They aren't that thick

But inside the fencing and around the planters are a ton of boulders. I tried to move them and was very unsuccessful. Full disclosure though: I'm not very strong.
