      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.

      Car wash soap comes in them. BTW, don't bother with natioal chains like TSC, try smaller shops.

      We get them here from either a dairy here in town or from a bottling company. They get syrup in them for flavorings.

      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.

      Znorton, I get mine from comercial laundry companies. There has to be some uniform supply companies in your area that supply and clean uniforms.
