15 Gallon Barrels
Working on a floating rig for my dredge, need 4 of the 15 gallon drums. Have had zero luck. Local dry cleaners, floor cleaners, craigslist, nada. Any ideas?

try your local car wash. I have gotten quite a few barrels from mine. 15, 30 and 50 gallon size.

Floaty Foam coated in plastic is spendy around here. Costs more than manufactured dredge floats. How did I not think of car washes. Going to check em out Monday!

Also look in their trash cans for the plastic tube in the spray bottles to use in sucker bottles. I've found a LOT of them !

Marijuana farmers often get their fertilizers in 15 gallon barrels.

Go to a plumbing supply house like George T Sanders or Ferguson plumbing the use them for Poly Propylene glycol containers for boiler systems antifreeze.

I have finally found somewhere that has them, but they are keeping them to build a dock.

Got any Feed & Grain stores close? They always seem to have them for feed troughs etc. Call around any businesses doing food products they might have some they're throwing away.Feed store55 gal plastic $19 15 gal $11Sauce manufacturer55 gal FREE 15 gal FREE & they'll usually help put em in your trailer!Hint - 1 1/2 boxes of baking soda & filling the drum with water. kick drum up & down the driveway a couple times will get the pickle & hot sauce smell out.Hint 2- The bottoms off the 15 gal white ones make great molds for stepping stones. Just be ready for the neighbors with the "Can you make me some?" queries.
I know it's here, just need a bigger coil!
