Where in pa are you? I might be able to help. I know a guy that sells food grade white 55 gallon drums for $10 each. Some of them still have residue inside but its usually stuff like food coloring or some kinda flavoring. Plastic 55 gal barrels, $8 each |

US Plastics (Lima, OH) has a website... shipping will probably hurt ya some though. But pretty much any container made of plastics, they will have. +1 I have ordered from them a few times. Good selection of stuff and shipping wasn't that bad. http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=76169&catid=459 |

This is the end of the thread....
1) Go to a place that does aluminum anodizing...ask for some plastic blue barrels...they usually just give them away. 2) Take them home, dump a big box baking soda in each one, fill with water....the barrels usually have an acidic residue. 3) Empty the water. 4) Fill barrel with body and cement. 5) Discard. 6) ??? 7) Profit. ***Ignore steps 4 thru 7 if you just need rain barrels. |

Home depot has them for around $80. I wanted to spend less than that. |

You go load up as many as you want and put the money in the mailbox. I personally would chop my own hand off before I paid $80 for a plastic drum. |
