Been trying to find plastic 30 and 55 gallon drums for quite some time.

Located some white plastic 30 gollon drums the other day.
Went and got 2 of them Sunday and picked up 10 more of them this evening.

Still lookin for white plastic 55 gallon drums.

Saints be praised, miracles do happen!

Hope you score some big'uns too.

What did you have to pay? I can get the big ones as low as $6-7 (US$)

1*The guy says he comes across 55 gallon white plastic drums occasionally.
I gave him my phone # and he said he'd call me when ever he gets any .
If they are any good and the price is anything like it was for the 30 gallon ones I'll take 15 to 25 of them.
2*Lets put it like this .
There are 2 guys here Selling 55 gallon drums .
One of them only has 55 gallon steel drums for $20.
The other fellow is selling55 gallon drums for $17.
He has them in steel and the blue plastic.
Neither one of them Have 30 gallon drums and neither of them have White plastic drums.

I figure I can make a few bucks at $10 per drum.
That is if I can DRUM up the business ( Pun intended)

That seems real high compared to NE Texas. There is a guy that must work a some type of food plant, around here. He brings home 55 gallon blue plastic drums on a special trailer he built. He sells them for $5 each. The drums were used to ship juices in. The steel ones are sold a hardware store for $7 each (with lids). Check out plants that make hand creams and food/drinks and aloe type products, they should have lots of drums.

Be sure and stay away from those large square (cube) 270 gallon tanks that pesticide come in, some try and sell them, but you could get popped for keeping one around, especially if it has an EPA number on it. People love them because the come with a 2" built-in valve.

A nice feature of theses drums is they are marked off in 5 gallon increments.

This allows you to determine how much fuel you have left at a glance.

I also have a couple of 55 gallon drums measured off like that.
