[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Free 55 gallon drums and 275 gallon IBC totes.

Posted: 12/12/2019 1:51:32 PM EDT

I've got about 2 dozen clean, empty 55 gallon barrels with lids for anyone who wants them. I have the lids for them too. I also have 5 of those 275 gallon IBC totes to give away also. They do not leak, the only thing wrong with them is that the bottom of the cages are beat up and we can't use them with a forklift. Take one, take all. Free! These are on the north side of Milwaukee for anyone who wants to pick some up.

I'm pretty certain that one or maybe 2 will fit in the bed of a full size pickup. I believe that someone did that before. The IBC's have a footprint of 40x48, the same width as a standard pallet. I'll verify tomorrow to make sure.

ETA: The IBC dimensions are 40x48 by 48" tall.

These are all clean, essentially new on the inside that have been painted in epoxy paint. The drums held frozen juice concentrate that was contained in bags. All the drums and IBC's had juice/syrup in them so no worries about any toxic chemicals or poisons. I know that people have taken the IBC's for water storage before. Some of the IBC's may have an odor of root beer or butterscotch RB in them but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I've transported two empty 265s in a silverado before. You need to keep the tailgate down and use a ratchet strap, but it fits with no overhang.

Hmmm. I could use a new drum for my UDS. PM sent

For those of you that have IM'd me, I should have responded to everyone. If you haven't received a reply, IM me again.

--Thanks

I picked up my tote and barrel today. I am not sure what I will do with the tote yet.

Thanks for the opportunity to have something to play with.
