Water Storage Drums

Hey guys,

I want to buy some water storage drums (like 55 gallon ones) and maybe other emergency preparedness items. Anyone know where I can buy the drums? Is there somewhere nearby, or do you have any online companies to recommend?

You can reply in the comments, so others can benefit from the information, or you can email me directly. Thanks.

55-gallon drums are sometimes available through Brother Bales in the Urbana ward. He works at Kraft in town and can pull a few from the recycling line. He charges you for them at-cost (about $3-5 each). I've made 2 rain barrels from the Kraft barrels and they're awesome. Come over and see them sometime :) He can also hook you up with food grade plastic buckets for bulk storage.

I saw big blue water barrels at Rural King in Rantoul, and they likely have them in Champaign as I hear they have better selection there. I hope that's what you were looking for. Good luck!
