Why don’t people use rubbermaid containers for composting?

Question by Wolf Mike: Why don’t people use rubbermaid containers for composting?
I want to start composting, but I want my compost container to be outside my house.

I was planning on using a rubbermaid container as my bin. I don’t plan on adding worms to my bin. Only problem is I’ve been looking online and nobody seems to be using a rubbermaid as their bin.

This makes me think rubbermaids shouldnt be used as bins.

Is there something wrong with using rubbermaid containers as composting bins?
What if I leave the bin outside with the lid open?

Compost needs air circulation.
You can use a rubbermaid as long as you cut plenty of holes in it.
