Those folding trailers are a PITA. I recently bought one primarily for the wheels, hubs, and fenders. After consideration I chopped it down and made a smaller stronger yard trailer out of it. (only a slight bend in it after sandy. Good thing it has suspension)The weatherman is predicting some precipitation so I though I'd bring in some wood. I have a few trash cans so I put the splits in them and wheeled them into the garage with a dolly. I think it has potential.

Nice! I use Rubbermaid Storage totes to bring in from the pile to the stove area and it works great. I'm just wondering how you get your garbage cans to stick to the wall like that...
Now that I'm thinking of it, with the right size rubbermaid container, say some multiplier of 16" (+), you could put a lot of wood in them, maybe they'd be light enough to stack (uh-oh, more work). Think is, I had a hard time getting my wife to accept the decorative iron firewood dolly sitting next to the stove, nevermind a rubbermaid container. The debris containment would be a big plus though...
Totes are very functional, but aren't very pretty next to the hearth.... If it was up to me i'd leave the totes right next to the stove filled with wood, but my lovely wife insist on using the log holder next to it. Shes the boss!
Build a wood box (all nice, nice) that will hold the tote inside. Win/win.
