55 Gal Drums CLEAN
 
LF a couple clean 55 gal or better drums to use for my mixing station. Anyone have or know where to get them in the GVRD?

There is a guy on craigslist who sells them all the time for around $20... The blue ones with a lid...held syrup or something like that.

I bought 2 white ones that had vinegar in them and just can't shake the smell in the barrels. I thought this would be pretty easy, I was wrong. Yes I have seen quite a few postings on guys selling them too on cl, but what was in them is my concern. If I can find some cleaned or something that had easily removable product in it then I will grab a couple more

If you want to get the vinigar smell out try acid (can get it at Rona)

What kind of acid?
Vinegar is an acid.

Big Blue Barrels

This is the guy I get barrels from. Having a removable lid is very handy. The residual food additive syrup is easily removed with hot water.

Awesome thanks!! I will give him a call tomorrow and pick up a couple. :)
