Abstract: In an embodiment, a wind-resistant container system includes a container including a receiving space and an opening that provides access to the receiving space. The system also includes a lid connected to the container that is movable between an open position, and a closed portion, wherein the lid substantially covers the opening. One or more closure elements are configured to selectively secure the lid in the closed portion such that the receiving space is protected from wind. The system further includes an anchoring system operably connected to the container and configured to anchor the container on a wall structure without forming a permanent hole in the wall structure. The anchoring system includes a front portion positionable on a first surface of the wall structure and a back portion positionable on a second surface of the wall structure.
