bucket source

[JayJay]

I used to get them at Sams Club for free when I'd buy 50# bags of rice but they told me they recycle them now.:mad:

The last ones I got from Craigs List had potato soup in them, $1.

They do---but if you can catch the deli employees before the truck?? has come---they may give them to you---they did give to me.

Happy christian day.

I have been unable to locate a local source of free buckets (it seems that others have beat me to them). I have purchased bulk batches of buckets and lids from these folks with good service:

@Gun Nut - Do you have a Home Depot near you? I just did a quick search on Homedepot for homer bucket and the screen shot says it all.



Hard to beat those prices and shipping costs. Every plastic company I have looked at charges my first born for their buckets and my second born for shipping....lol

This was where I was going to get my buckets if I hadn't found a Super ChinaMart to sell me their used for $1.

You might also check and see if you have a recycling place nearby. I got some at the local Civic Recycling. They charge $1 each, (they used to be .50, but they're starting to figure out that there's a market for them). The ones I got had powdered milk in them. The key to make sure they are food-grade buckets is to check and see what came in them. If they're marked "Industrial Solvent" or some such you probably want to pass on them. I figure if food came in them, they should be safe for food. <G>

the lid alone is worth more than that. Good buy.
