but they do make the metal ones that fold up for empty transport and can carry a boatload. Nice for not having to worry about storing when you empty them back out!

Edit - rather than folding onto themselves, they fold flat with the handle extended where you can still wheel them behind you when empty. Probably not describing them right, but I have seen people with them at market and they are quite sturdy.
