Large blue barrels - Elmira Corning Area?

[daveverdo]

Anyone know where I could get a few used large inexpensive food grade blue plastic barrels? I am looking in the Elmira/Coring area.

The other side of Candor is a business called Signs. They have a ton of them.. It is right on rt.96. just beyond the fish hatchery..it is a bout 20 min from my place

Thanks James, any additional info would be appreciated (for example, what kind of business?). I tried the yellow pages and there are a few "signs" on rt96. I don't want to just start calling people at random

Hi guys

Only problem with getting used drums is that you may not know for sure what was in them and what impact that could have on their future use. I assume you want to use it for salt water mixing....
I have a 33 gallon plastic drum that I used for a long time, but when I upgraded to a 125 gallon tank I also upgraded to a 55 gallon plastic drum(can mix up two water changes) from McMaster Carr. It was a little expensive....$85 with shipping, but I knew for sure what I was getting.

Just my 2 cents..

I actually want to use them for rain water/irrigation and composting. So they really don't need to be food grade. I just want them to have had paint stripper in them

The signs store is a relative of this company.
