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.

Of course. But I'd rather keep the lid on, as it keeps debris such as leaves, branches, etc out.
Don't want mosquitoes getting in there either, lid is a must.
And the holes in the lid need to be smaller than a mosquito. Maybe some fine meshed screen would be helpful. I can’t really tell how big the holes are without a banana, for scale.
but the protein :(
The lid will get clogged pretty regularly with that debris.
