On Father's Day this past June, Tulloch was surprised by his wife and three-year-old daughter with a blast from the past — a rare and original Orbit trash can. "The success of the Orbit trash cans … has prompted the province to order 100 more of these unique garbage cans," The Rivers Banner newspaper reported Oct. 14, 1965. This ad for the Orbit trash cans appeared in The Birtle Eye-Witness newspaper in July 1969. "Several Orbit trash containers" were advertised for sale at an auction in Brandon in 2001. So he was giving them a history of the Orbit because they had no idea what this thing was," Tulloch said.
