So I have 12 empty 55 gallon drums. I can’t be the first person with this issue. Any useful suggestions and uses?

Build a raft. Send them back to your bleach guy.

Sell them all day long on Craigslist. $20 for my 30’s and $30 for the 55’s

wow, you’d be lucky to get $15 in my area. Nice.

I was thinking plastic 55 poly barrels. If these are steel haha no way. My bad

But what if your bleach guy lives upstream? Then you’ll need a motor for the raft…

Why doesn’t your supplier take them back. Cut the top off and make trash can, cut both ends off and make a leaf can. Clean them out and sell them for 25 bucks each

Our market 8s cheaper too. Some people give them away to get rid of them.

No way. SH is so caustic it would eat a hole in it in before it got to where it’s going. I think @DantheWindowMan was trying to be funny or he ordered a 55 gallon drum of oil or something…lol

The plastic ones sell for $10 around here. Not even worth the hassle of messing with selling them if you ask me. When I buy drums from a pool store they require a $100 deposit or your own drums the first time and then you just exchange them after that. When I order from the chemical supplier I have to keep them.
