Some farm stores, "country" stores, millitary supply stores and such.
car washes...I have also seen them on ebay.
Call the car washes in your area. I had to call seven of them in my area before I found one that would give them to me.
thanks for the help
what exactly do the car washes use them for? do i just call and ask for the drums? i have contacted the local tractor supply company and sams club etc but none of the carry them. i will call the local car washes and see. thanks
Car wash soap comes in them. BTW, don't bother with natioal chains like TSC, try smaller shops.
DIY wine and beer stores...bulk liquids come in them. Try local bakeries
We get them here from either a dairy here in town or from a bottling company. They get syrup in them for flavorings.
thanks a lot i will try all today
Food processing companies get many food grade products in them. Chemical supply houses usually have a stack of them around. I have a chemical company which washes out the barrels, removes the labels, and sells them to me for $5.00.
got 5 of them for free from the local pepsi bottler thanks a lot for the suggestions
Yep Local Pepsi (or Coke I guess but haven't tried) bottler here too
They use to charge $5 each but I think they are a buck a piece minimum 5 now
I am the ORGANIC guy now! way cool
I could get you as many as you would like....but alittle bit of a drive to where I am!
Opps...good you found some!

Znorton, I get mine from comercial laundry companies. There has to be some uniform supply companies in your area that supply and clean uniforms.
Z just so you know you have one of the largest plastics mfg. in the world in your backyard if you need weird plastic stuff. United plastics is out of Lima.Originally Posted by znorton_505
the chinese send their apple juice concentrate to the US in them... so if you have an apple juice making co in your area there should be lots of them... guess maybe that's only in WA or CA
