Source for food grade drums

[Mike S]

Anyone on know a good source for used food grade drums? I'm looking for something in the range of 20 to 30 gallons. I've been keeping my eye on craigslist but haven't seen anything under 55 gallons. I've also found a few places online but the shipping is pretty expensive.

Is this for your RO and/or make up water?

Primarily looking for one for mixing saltwater. I'd use a brute trash can but it won't fit where I want to put it. The 30 gallon drums seem to be 19 inches which would be perfect.

I just shipped out a bunch of emyies, but should have some again soon.

Great!

Do you know the diameter of the ones you have access to and where are you located?

 

[Baxreefs]

I think they're 23" x 32" ish or there about.

I'm in 07403, but I can drop them at any reefer's house between Sayreville and Bloomingdale.

Sorry for hijack guys. Bax after you take care of Mike is it possible you could gets a couple of those also. I live south but work in Elizabeth so I could pick up from you in Sayreville. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Baxsreef but it sounds like that might be a little too big. The space that I'm working with is only about 20 inches wide.

I apologize if I’m stating the obvious, but Brutes come in different sizes. Here are the two I have….a 32 gallon and a 20 gallon.

The 20 gallon will fit into your 20 inch limit since it has a 19 ½ inch diameter (lid diameter).

Don’t know if that’s enough gallons for you, but the size fits!

 

[Mike S]

I thanks for stating the obvious because I had no idea that they made a smaller container. that size will be perfect. I had looked around home Depot and lowest before but may have missed them. I need to make a run to lowest this weekend to replumb my tank. I'll take another look. Thanks!

Mike, if you haven't purchased the brute yet, I have an extra 32 gallon blue plastic container. PM if you want it. I'm right next door in Marlton. Thanks, Ray

Thanks Ray

Just sent you a PM. I got a 30 gallon brute yesterday and it squeeze in where I needed it to go.
