Where can I get 55 gallon drums (NH)

Posted by mooch 5a NH (My Page) on

Part of my filter systems return pipes have cracked over the winter and I am looking to upgrade my filters.

I want to build some settlement tanks for my large pond and was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick up some 55 gallon drums to make it with.

Thanks in advance.

(lost 2 fish already so kind in a rush)

Our local Feed store sells them. I think they are used soy sauce drums. People buy them and cut them in half to feed and water livestock.

mooch,

What part of NH? On the outskirts of Greenville, Pilgrim Foods always had hundreds sitting outside, and would give them away whenever I needed one for a project. I haven't been there in 10 years, though.

There's a place in Northwood, NH that has 55 gallon drums. Lots of them at $12 each.

The place is "Barrels". They are $12 each (for now), but you have to pick them up.

Call Irene Masten at 603-942-8533

the place is just east of Rt. 43 on Rt. 106, about 200' from the Rt. 43/Rt 202 intersection on the eastbound side of the road. You'll see hundreds of barrels stacked in the backyard.

I don't know about your area, but most fish packing plants have them and love it when you take them, and the school district uses them and they may be a good sorce.
Good Luck
