Question
A trash bin is standing on the floor. Is it permissible to move it on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav
A trash bin is considered muktzeh because it contains items that have no use.
It can be moved with one's foot, as in the case of 'moving with the body'.
If it emits a bad odor, it is permissible to move it by hand, as in the case of 'graf shel re'i'.
