Not that I've been able to find yet. I have been looking though! Rona has 50gal bins but they're like the blue boxes / black boxes the city uses for recycling and garbage pickup, they're square and to move them you have to tip them back onto their wheels. That doesn't work well if they're full of water and I'm not sure if they're watertight anyways with that axle down on the bottom.

In all fairness the one I came close to ordering was about $80 from uline.ca. It was the dolly at $60 that was the luxurious touch that maybe one could do without. The lid too is around $30.

I've checked other online suppliers (usplastic.com & a few others) but the pricing is all pretty much inline with each other.

I wish I knew someone in the L.M. well enough to ask for the huge favour of just picking one of these up for me and holding it until I came through on my island camping trip but seeing as that's the summer that's kind of too big a favour to ask anyhow. Oh well, some more deals will pop up a bit closer sooner or later. Or I'll get the gumption to suck it up and pay full retail. One or the other.

cheers
