It's an 80l trash can.

The inverted lid has small holes drilled in them and act as the rain collector.

Two more pairs of holes, at the edge of the lid and into the container, together with some string keep the lid from blowing away.

I mean, you could just leave the lid off…

Of course. But I'd rather keep the lid on, as it keeps debris such as leaves, branches, etc out.

The lid will get clogged pretty regularly with that debris.
