Would a 50 lb bag of bird seed fit in this container?

Don't know about birdseed but a 50lb. bag of rock salt fits with room to spare!!

I would, poured out. Wouldn't work just sitting the bag down in it, I don't think. Not sure about the weight though.

I am not sure. We use it for bird seed and have not noticed the weight of the bag. Sorry.

I buy 40 pound bags and pour them in and it has room to spare so your size should fit. Maybe even one to spare.

I would guess that it would be, based on the 200g bags I have which are roughly twice the size. The dimensions they give in description are wrong, the bag is smaller than the size they quote (see the photo up of the product in the fridge to see size comparison next to food items.

I would assume it would. I buy a 25lb bag every month & there is some room to spare after emptying that into it. This is a good quality container, made in USA, which is hard to find these days.

I dump my in, so I do not know if it would fit or not. It holds about 35lbs loose so I would think a 30lb bag would fit, but I do not know that for a fact.It is a really nice container.

Go by the mfg measurements to see if it would. Keep in mind that once the bag is opened and the initial amount of seed is removed the bag will have a "squishabilty" factor and can be better conformed to the box. The real issue here is the weight itself. This winter I put in at least 25lbs at a time of rocksalt and the bottom held up fine with no extra support. I was worried that it may not. You could ask the manipufacturer, divide the bag of seed (defeating the purpose?) or brace the bottom of the box from underneath (which you won't see) by placing boards that fit exactly between the floor or ground and the box (same height as the legs). Two 4" wide boards will do it. It is easy and will give good support. The box is very attractive, holds up well and does keep the elements out. It won't blow open as it has a catch on the front. ( It won't keep raccoons out however!) I think you'll be happy with it. Good luck!

No, it will not hold the large seed cakes. I use the standard one that is 4"x4" and 1" thick.

I also bought the 67 pound one, and 50 pounds doesn't even fit into that, although it's close. The 40 pound bags for that size are perfect because there's plenty of room for the scoop, and it can still be closed tightly. Given that, the 55 quart would be too small for 50 pounds for sure. My last answer was incorrect... I thought I had the 55 quart container, but I don't. I am sorry about my mistake.

I just put a 40 lbs. bag of large kernel dog food in it. It fit the whole bag.

The pound thing is sort of hard per say as different seeds will weigh differently. I would look at the dimensions and then look at the size of a 5 pound or less bag of grass seed as an example

It would be a bit too big, maybe if you crushed it some. Plastic grocery bags fit easily.

Yes it would, but if you filled the box with as much bird seed as it would hold I don't know if the floor would support it. Remember it needs to be on a flat hard surface.

Yes, it would be, and it would store nicely collapsed in the bird seed bag or container in which you store your bird seed.

I would think so.I had an empty plastic litter container.I had cleaned it and kept birdseeds in it....that was no match,and that lid was very hard to open,and the plastic was just as thick as this container.This is not airtight,disappointed about that,would not buy another

You could store the whole bag but I find it easier to pour the bag in. I normally have my 50 pound puppy trying to help get his food but if your pet is better behaved than mine it may work to put the bag in.

Sure, but you would have to have a way to put seed in it as needed for the birds. We just love ours and our family here for Christmas thought it was amazing.
