5 gallon buckets?

[hoggs222]

Does anyone know where I could get around 10-15 5 gallon buckets for cheap? I'm looking to do my vegetables & peppers in an upside down hanger.

Ya might ask some drywall guys...Tapers

Try Ziegler or someplace like that. They keep hydraulic fluids and such in 5 gallons sometimes. I just found 6 in a job site dumpster recently they had pink anti freeze in them when they where full.

Any painter will have buckets, aslo resturants Convenience stores with fod service ect.

Sparce hit it right on the nail, but:

Drywall buckets are pretty available, but I have never been a fan of using them for feeding animals or doing something in them I would consume.

For $2.00 (around that), it would be worth going to Menards or the hardware store and get new/clean fresh ones. IMO

I could be wrong. Cleaning the used drywall bucket may be an option, but for me is to much work.

Try a restaurant, they get bulk things like pickles in 5 gal buckets. My finance used to work at a restaurant and would bring them home. They came with lids and smelled like pickle but a quick wash in the tub and they are good to go.

Let me look at work. We do a bunch of field line painting in the summer but I'm not sure if there are any left. 10-15 do you want the lids also?

Try your local restaurants. Pickles, mayo, sauerkraut, bbq sauce, etc. all come in 5 gallon buckets.

Sorry Rowdy, I just skimmed the posts, great idea

Sparce, you could be correct. I though the last time I bought one, the bucket was $2.55 and the lid was $2.00 (equals around $5.50. I could have paid $5.50 just for the bucket .
