I'm sure if you scrounge around your local area you'll come across a barrel. But here are a couple of options to hash over: Mixing small amounts at a time that you will use for each job (5 gal. buckets) Another option is go to an agriculture supplier like Tractor Supply and buy a 35 gal. container for your mix. I think they're around $65 dollars, but you'll get a lot of use out of it, they're horizontal and will sit steadily for transport. I bought one ten years ago when I got started and it's still holding up just fine.

Try your local craigslist - I found used plastic ones for 12.50 a piece.


www.craigslist.org - then click on georgia on the right hand side and choose the city closest to you. Type in 55 gallon drum or barrell in "for sale" and go from there.

I'd send you one but it will cost more in shipping than the barrel is worth.

Check your local carwashes a lot of times they just want to get rid of them.

how far are you from alabama

I have to cut in half and send to dump, others have deposit and need to swap them. Depends on what your going to mix i suppose.

I would also give you one if you where near by.
Often places cant get rid of them.

I have 5 in my yard as well as 3 - 275 gallon totes

Paint some flowers on em and sell them as rain barrels on ebay.

 

[Ron Musgraves]

Thats a great idea Paul!!!!!!

They make good dog houses too.

The pet food warehouse in my area sells them. Since I am in the middle of the city, I would imagine any large scale place like that has them.
