Large Plastic Buckets (25L or so)

anotheruser

Does anyone know where I may be able to find some cheap 25L buckets from?

I was thinking perhaps some sort of food company or aqua place may have loads going spare that they just throw away.

I'd like to use them to mix paper and water to make paper logs.

Looked online, the tipping price seems to be about £5 per bucket.

Thanks

how many are you looking to buy ?

How about a gorilla tub, bigger and cheaper than a bucket. Also good if you want to use a paddle mixer to mush the paper. (a bucket can crack easier)

Would need between 5 and 10.
Until I figure out how big 25l looks in bucket size I won't know. But by my guess, I should need that many.

Looked at the rubber-type ones and they could be a potential. Although found a nice person on eBay doing some for £5 per bucket/local collection so that may be the best I can find.

We have 25L plasterers buckets from B&Q, they are like a standard bucket but taller. Hopefully that may help you appreciate they actual size.

From the sound of it, it doesn't actually have to be a bucket - how about one of the many cheap plastic waste bins or storage boxes available from (say) Poundshops?

imho
