Bringing Garbage Can Home on Yom Tov

Is it permissible to return garbage can from street on Yom Tov (due to a concern that the can may get stolen or damaged in the street) as it was placed in street for pick-up.
Thanks for previous shailos.

Answer:

A garbage can is a keli, a “utensil” of sorts that can be used on Yom Tov (primarily for throwing away garbage).

Because it is a keli, it is not muktzeh, and it can be returned home in a normal way.

Best wishes.
