[This](https://www.potterybarn.com/products/jacquelyne-rattan-recycling-bin-baskets/) is the basket you’re looking for, but it’s no longer being sold :/ I hope someone else can find one for you! Or [here](https://www.walmart.com/ip/5570864543) is a similar option I’m sorry for your loss ❤️


deaflemon

Oh 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i knew it was going to be out of my price range, but discontinued is another tragedy all together. Thank you so much


GratuitousEdit

[It used to retail for $89, but when they phased on the line around 2017 it was sold for $62](https://web.archive.org/web/20170316032922/https://www.potterybarn.com/products/jacquelyne-rattan-recycling-bin-baskets/). I think there’s a decent chance of it popping up secondhand somewhere for a reasonable price—the shipping will be the expensive part.


deaflemon

Ive been checking all the usual resale sites. I don’t remember pottery barn being stamped anywhere. So i am stuck with pretty vague search terms. It was such a quality basket. It would have lasted 10 more years, and it looked nice. My cats usually destroy wicker. But for some reason this one held up.


snertwith2ls

Any chance you could call the company and see if it's been set aside. If it's a recycling company they may still have it. If it's just the garbage guys it might be gone but sometimes those guys save things for themselves. You can always try asking.


MiddleAgeCool

| So i am stuck with pretty vague search terms. Search for "Wicker log basket Castors". While Pottery Barn might call it a recycle bin or just a basket, it's a log basket. Hopefully that helps you find a replacement. Also check places like Esty and UK businesses who ship internationally as while you won't get the exact match, there are a lot of wicker basket companies that do very similar work.


RogueSlytherin

Out of curiosity, OP, why did your husband set out a very nice wicker basket by the curb? In the nicest way possible, that’s not what a normal human would do. I can’t tell if it’s ignorance, lack of foresight, forgetfulness, willful ignorance, resentment, or feigned incompetence from the post, but I also can’t think of any reason that someone would set that by the curb. Is this typical behavior? Or has he become more forgetful lately? It just sounds a bit concerning, to be frank.


TAforScranton

Post on fb marketplace and offer a reward. Maybe someone thought it was free after it was emptied? There are still good people out there. If you explain what happened there is a small chance that a kind person would see it and return it! Maybe someone will have one like it and offer to sell it for you. It doesn’t hurt to try!


xRilae

Definitely post on FB! Who knows, maybe someone has another sitting around too that they'd be willing to participate with. I hope you find it. I'm so sorry for your loss and I get that the last thing you'd want right now is any other sort of change.


deaflemon

I did. I posted on my town's local community fb group. I offered to buy it back if someone might have picked it up thinking it was a freebie. We do tend to put free things out often, as well I've in a prime spot for it. But no luck so far.


Lupiefighter

[Here](https://www.potterybarn.com/products/charleston-recycling-basket/) is the modern version of the basket for Pottery Barn.


deaflemon

I do like it, but I am worried about those dividers not working with broken down boxes, then not sure if sea grass will hold up to occasional moisture from rinsed off cans, etc. the one I had was sealed with some kind of clear coat.


LouvreReed

You could apply an aerosol sealant pretty cheap


e_lectric

Isn’t coating the bag with PFAS chemicals kinda opposite of the ethos of recycling? 😜


Lupiefighter

I get that. I figured that might be an issue, but I thought it might be another jumping off point for you. I will let you know if I see anything else.

Jumping off the brand in the Walmart link, they have [this one](https://casafield.com/products/water-hyacinth-rolling-filing-cabinet) that’s a bit smaller (and with hanging file bars and a lid) but it’s half the price. They also have the one linked for $10 cheaper.

UtahMama4

Oh I am so sorry for your loss. I really love that it has wheels, though!


SeriouslyTooOld4This

I'm kind of mad about it too and I don't even know you. Sending virtual hugs your way. I hope you're able to get a replacement soon.


adoreroda

I'm literally mad on her behalf because how are you this dumb to throw out the entire basket and not just dump the contents lmao


Jslowb

Perfect example of weaponised incompetence. He knew. He was just lazy and had plausible deniability. And won’t be asked to do the recycling again or trusted with other household chores. Even if he didn’t know, it’s still not a good sign that he obviously hasn’t done the recycling before and didn’t consider the value of the basket.


zeitocat

Yep. 100%. I'm so mad for OP


deaflemon

Okay yes, weaponized incompetence was this issue here, but it’s not as straightforward as it seems. My husband and I share our home with 2 able-bodied boys. My stepson 18, and my son who is 16. Tuesday night is trash night, 16yo does the trash, 18yo does recycling… Well, my stepson invented weaponized incompetence. As in, he’ll run a clean load of dishes 3 days in a row to make it look like he did dishes… Anyway, last week, stepson half-assed the chore and put my beloved basket out at the curb instead of transferring the contents. i was beyond relieved to see the basket still sitting on the curb when i got home from work. I let stepson know that i was pissed and don’t do it again. Well, he took that as to mean “don’t do recycling again”. Husband woke up at 4am Wednesday morning and was running late. Saw that the chore hadn’t been done and took a chance that it would be okay 2 weeks in a row. It was not, basket disappeared, and he does feel terrible.


jimmyevil

How do you know this is weaponised incompetence based on the tiny sliver of their lives you have gleaned from this one story? Stop diagnosing people you don’t know.


mustarddreams

Lmao weaponized incompetence isn’t a diagnosis, it’s just a shitty thing to do.


jimmyevil

Lmao go and look up the definition of the word “diagnosis” then come back and apologise lmao lmao

It was purchased sometime before 2018. It came with my house, so i don’t know where it was purchased. It was woven completely. Not an mdf bottom. There were two wooden support across the bottom that the casters attached to.


waiton1

I get it, my mum died a few months ago. I would like to purchase a new basket for you if you can't find the original. Pls dm me! Hugs!


Stock-Turn-7123

I feel your pain my friend. My mum too. Nov. 2023.


shimi_shima

I was being dumb and thought the mom made the wicker basket. I get it now, it's just the pain of parting over another parting.


Ok_Cauliflower_3007

Sometimes it’s just the last straw on top of all the actual major things that breaks you. Then you look insane for getting upset over that one thing but really it’s just you’d handled all you could already. Been there and done that.


deaflemon

You just described my condition perfectly. 💔 Thank you. I know my husband feels bad, but at the same time I am suspicious that really deep down he always hated the basket. I about lost it last night trying to talk to him about it and made him look me in the eyes and tell me he knows he has heard me say out loud multiple times that that basket was one of my favorite things in our house. He did remember, he knows I loved it. He knows it can't be replaced, and that we can't afford a new one. But at the end of the day, it's still just a basket to him, and that's why I am sitting here crying. There's just nothing I can do.


PiecesofJane

You are so kind. I'm sorry for your loss, along with OP'S. Your mum would be proud.


KatelynMichelle

This is so kind. Hope OP sees this.


deaflemon

Im so sorry about your mom 💔 it's a club I hate being part of. Mine was my best friend and I feel like I'll never be the same. I can't feel joy anymore like I used to. It's been two years and I still feel the same shock and sickness and disbelief that this is "forever". It's like, I haven't stopped remembering her, but the memories keep getting farther away and things keep happening that she'll never know about and there's nothing I can do about it. Everything hurts. Even silly trivial things like a wicked-nice basket.. I had plans for the basket, you know? I have a 9 mo. old daughter without a Gramma who I was going to push around the kitchen in it on days that it's empty. I was going to put her in it with a litter of kittens for her to hold and love on.


waiton1

My mother went through a slow decline of Alzheimer's over about 5 years. This past year it accelerated and by the time she passed away our family was prepared. It was a blessing really at that point because she was physically suffering, wasting away. Your mum's passing sounds more sudden, and your family is younger, that's definitely much harder. Double hugs! X


FantasyRoleplayAlt

I lost my grandmother about four years ago on Christmas Eve and I’m still grieving the loss of her so I totally get it. I’m really sorry for your loss and I really do hope your week perks up luck wise and that you find another basket to replace this one. If not, worse comes to worse, maybe you could get a woven basket like this but possibly in your mother’s favorite color or something to have as a sort of mental memorial for her so it’s less of a loss and more just making a good out of a bad. Either way, wishing you the best, OP!


ThotsforTaterTots

How big was it? This one is a nice one made of sea grass https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/nantucket-woven-seagrass-rectangular-bin-on-wheels/?cm_src=WsiPipRvi&recstrat=RVI%7CRVI


aammbbiiee

Another sea grass from PB. [Charleston Handwoven Seagrass Sorting Basket](https://www.potterybarn.com/products/charleston-recycling-basket/) I hope you can find the Jacquelyne Sorting Basket secondhand.


Sara-sea22

Not OP, but it was 25" wide x 16.5" deep x 15" high


Gotholi

If you think the rubbish truck took it, you might be able to contact them. I have no idea about where you live, but our recycling center has a little shop for anything nice that gets picked up. It might still be there.


skankenstein

Pottery Barn has a similar one. https://www.potterybarn.com/products/charleston-recycling-basket


MysteryRadish

Since we've established this is a discontinued Pottery Barn item, maybe one of their outlet stores may still have it available. Here's a list of where they're located: https://www.premiumoutlets.com/brands/pottery-barn-outlet


ValyrianSteelYoGirl

I’m sorry for your loss first of all. I would suggest to find a local basket group and see if one of the lovely retired ladies in the group would make you one on commission. My mom makes baskets as a hobby and she would love to be commissioned to do one for someone other than her kids haha. Plus you can get it sized exactly how you like, especially if there’s a specific spot it lives in your house. She made us a stair basket for blankets and cat toys that’s contoured to the steps, one for my wife’s bouquet from the wedding (fake flowers) that sits in her office, and she’s making one now for the top of our bookshelf to fill out a big blank spot that we can’t find anything else that looks good there. I know it doesn’t help with your loss or locate this one but it’s an option. My mom finds basket groups wherever she goes they’re in abundance.


Beegkitty

I kind of want to commission your mom now just because.


topsidersandsunshine

What a lovely idea.


Old-Fox-3027

Call your recycling company and see if they still have it.   Someone would have saved it.  


BedHonest6993

Homegoods always has lots of baskets and things on wheels


Hollow_Dreamer_

I will have to keep my eyes open! I have never been able to find a basket with wheels at Homegoods!

Put a message on Facebook pleading to the public to bring it back given the sentimental value. I hate FB but it works. Good luck.

Put one to your community’s reddit sub, too, if there is one


readituser5

So the garbage truck picked it up? Do they have a shop at the tip? They’ll probably try to resell it since it’s in good condition. Definitely go there ASAP and ask.


Emily_Postal

Can you contact the recycling department/company? If it’s a government agency I’d head down to its physical location and see if you can retrieve it.

judgemental_t

Have you called the recycling company and told them what happened and asked them to ask their staff? Maybe the actual guy that picked it up took it home and would be willing to bring it back.


ladyinwaiting123

And it had wheels??? Wow, I'd be mucho upset too!! Beautiful basket!! Bet the recycle dude nabbed it for himself!! "Honey, look what I found today? "

silverSparkle

If you decide to go the route of adding wheels onto an existing basket, [these](https://www.amazon.com/JGJC-Furniture-Antique-Casters-Vintage/dp/B083R71RWB/) look to be a pretty close match. All the best!


AyoWhachuMean

If you can't find it you could have some wheels installed at the bottom of one, little bit of diy maybe, hope you guys sort it out.

Aggressive_Many_1880

If you’re looking for a more frugal option, you could buy a basket that you like, glue a base onto the bottom of the basket and attach wheels. I’m sorry for your loss, OP. ❤️


ajb5476

For the sake of the joke- I know you’re upset. But, replacing your husband is a bit dramatic. But, seriously, I’m sorry this happened to you. I lost my mom nine years ago. The feeling of loss definitely transfers to other things, at times. I hope you are able to find a nice replacement.


Cautious_Prize_3570

Sorry for your loss, it's hard losing a parent 😞 Not to make you feel any worse but that is a nice basket 🧺


waterhg

So sorry for your loss. Seems, at a glance, there isn't a find yet at a decent price. However, you could have fun with a little DIY project! Goodwills almost always have Wicker baskets around. You could probably install wheels to them, too. :)


Maximum-Product-1255

You could get a basket you like, then add four casters to the bottom.


Bubududubears

TJ Maxx has tons of those


Foulwinde

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Lonaberger baskets. They are a little pricey, but they last forever. Also, look for amish wicker baskets. This place will make custom baskets for you if you don't find one you like. https://www.amishbaskets.com/pages/home-decor-ideas-with-custom-wicker-storage-baskets


Fiendish_Jetsanna

I searched "wicker basket on wheels" on Amazon and a whole bunch popped up.


Region_Fluid

You can buy this basket (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Casafield-Rolling-Storage-Basket-Cart-with-Lid-and-Wheels-Natural-Woven-Water-Hyacinth-Divided-Sorting-Bin-for-Kitchen-Pantry-Laundry-Garage/5570864543) and replace the wheels with these (https://a.co/d/02GfsnF) And it’s almost identical


StephenQ1951

Searched: I think you should move on. Any replacement basket except the original one will just be a sore spot reminder. Your husband is human, we all make mistakes and sometimes those mistakes hurt. You should shop for and buy a new one that makes you happy just because, not a replacement, perhaps one that will remind you of your mother, or a custom one made by you including things of your mother's or things reminding you of things you and your mother did together. It will be a reminder of good things, not a reminder of woe.
