I'm sick of buying the cheap plastic ones that will inevitably crack and break. I have to move my laundry pretty frequently so I'm looking for something that can hold quite a bit, and that is easy to carry. Thanks!
Sterilite 1.25 Bushel Ultra HipHold Laundry Basket
These are pretty decent.
Steele is the answer. Love them!
Sterilite have been the best I’ve used as well
I've had a Sterlite that I bought to take to college in 1994, and it's still in great shape. I've had several other brands fall apart over that time, but recently found more Sterlite baskets at BJs. The new ones aren't as sturdy as the first one, but they seem to be good quality.
Aldi regularly has some really nice laundry baskets for 9.99. We have 4 that I think will last a long time. Not always available but at least twice a year I see them. The current ones have a movable divider included.

Steele /thread
It’s a damn A1 Abrams tank.
Steele if you want something tough. I personally use a couple cheap plastic bins from target and aldi and they still look like new 2 years later. Both feel like a quality plastic meant to last. But yeah plastic.. if you’re zerowaste look into canvas laundry bins from Steele.
I’ve had my Steele for 3 years
I love the IKEA blue bags so much. Easily the best and most versatile bag i own. I use the bag to carry firewood for camping; beach bag to carry chairs, tent, and towels in one trip; laundry basket and grocery hauler for single trips. The possibilities are endless lol
Yeah, they're pretty great
I have a Sterilite with wheels, since I was at an apartment complex with outdoor laundry. Still going strong since 2007.
You can find the old hard plastic square ones at the thrift store. They sell them cheap if they’re dirty or scratched up.. highly recommend!
I would love to see a picture of what you're talking about!
25 gallon squat nursery containers similar to this will last your entire life, at least:

The rim makes them easy to carry and some have actual handles molded in.
You could probably buy new ones from a nursery for $20.
