WANTED IN LOUISIANA: 55 gallon drums

[kuntrygirl]

If anyone from Louisiana knows where I can buy about (5) 55 gallon drums/barrels, please let me know. I am in need of drums to store feed. Thanks

Have you tried craigslist? Maybe go around to some different places and ask if they have any for sale. Ive heard sometimes they even give them away for free.

Check a local bottling company.

Can you think of any places that may store things in 55 gallon drums? That may help me in my search. I'm trying to think but I'm at a loss. Thanks for your suggestion. I will surely try that. But if you can think of any places that may have these on hand, that would help me out tremendously. Thanks again.

Ok. There is a Coca Cola bottling company in Lafayette, Louisiana. I will call tomorrow and ask them. Thanks for the suggestion.

Post an ad on Craigslist. There were not many listed when I checked, but when I posted an ad for some, I got about a dozen replies. They started within minutes of me posting it too.

I don't know anything about price, so what would be a fair price to pay for a 55 gallon drum?

$10-$20

I called all around today but no one has 55 gallon drums. I called the Coca Cola bottling company here and they do not sell or give away drums. I called some of the local companies that make seasoning but they said that it's not a good idea to put animal feed in their drums because of what is stored in the drums (liquid smoke, etc.), so that is out. I also placed an ad on craigslists list night but no hits. I guess I'll wait patiently. If you have any other ideas, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
