55 gallon drums

[a2fire2i]

Anyone know of a place that sells 55 gallon drums??

 

[flfirefighter13]

Ive got a bunch of poly drums 55 gallon with 2 2" holes and caps in the top. I got them for 18 bucks and found them from a guy who buys them from dialisis labs, they held saline. If your going to be in the orlando/daytona area any time soon Ive got extras, Im sure they could be shipped but it would cost a ton and im not sure who would even do it.

Long long ago my family got some from these people (to build a floating dock) - http://www.peppersonthepier.com/special.html
... they make hot sauce. If that doesn't work I bet there's food manufacturers in the area that could give/sell you some.

They're perfect
60 gallons, black, narrows at the top, come with a lid too. I can take a picture if you want tonight.

Here's the catch, they're $4. That's right - $4!. They get asked for them all the time so they will know what you are talking about. They were filled with peppericinos, and smelled like it too, so I let it soak in my pool for quite awhile.

Interesting. I planned on washing them out this weekend. I guess I'll fill em with water out back first to be sure they don't leak.

Anyone know the resin identification code on these barrels? Its the number inside the little recycle triangle probably on the bottom.

Im trying to figure out if these are polypropylene or polyethylene.

 

[Expensive Sushi]

Mine is filled and behind the tank -- no chance of seeing the bottom.
