I need 5 gal. Buckets or Cat litter tubs w/tops

[charlotte49er]

Y'all came through on the packing peanuts, I have another challenge!

Anyone near/around Charlotte have either 5 Gal buckets that they want to get rid of? I need about a dozen+, can't be broken or cracked as they need to hold water. I'm willing to pick up and clean out.

ALSO need them with the handles.

Lowe's and Home Deport are about the cheapest I found at about $3 per bucket and 1 dollar for the tops.

Anyone have an in with painters or sheetrockers. Or maybe you buy your laundry dtergent in bulk to save a bundle of money?

I know all of us on Huddle here recycle everything plastic right? :yesnod:

I can also use plastic Cat litter tubs:

Either this:

But prefer these with the tops (Less cat litter of course!)

Or the square laundry detergent tubs w/tops or 5 gallon buckets. The square laundry detergent is the same thing as Cat litter containers.

Or anyone know of a food place or car wash that gets these?

Restaurants get their cooking oils and car washes get the detergents in something similar and most just throw them out.

I'm in need of about a dozen+ of them. Especially 5 gallon buckets (And tops if if anyone has them.)

I know some smart @** is going to say, "Go get them yourself you cheap skate!" But I'm trying to be Eco Friendly here and recycle them.

remember, its much easier and cleaner to cut at the joints.

Are you putting the bodies in the blender and using these jugs to get rid of the evidence?

hahahaha and he thought the smartass answers would be about him being a cheapskate.

Go to deli's and see if they have empty pickle buckets, those are 5 gallons. Most places save them and have plenty.

I got about 10 that are similar to the kitty litter buckets, but they are bigger, all with lids and handles in my garage. Come and get them!

I am curious as to what you plan on doing with them!!!

[Doyle]

Seriously, what are they for?

[PanthaSan]

Try donut shops or fast food places....

Also, what Zod said.

Just the ex-fiancee, but keep that to yourself!

I need them to put dirt in. Really!

About a month ago I got into gold prospecting. Since my wheelchair isn't going into the water, I'm trying to buddy up with a someone. I figure he digs the dirt, then I run it through my equipment. Then we split the Gold 50/50, if we find anything. This will go alot better once I move into my new place, way more room. But I need buckets to fill with the dirt and tops so they won't spill all over the Custom Cruiser (my van.)

I panned about a 3 pound bag of dirt and ended up with a small Garnet and 15 flakes of gold. That was my first ever experience at panning. The piece of equipment I bought will probably yield more. I may not get rich, but I'm having fun trying! :yesnod:

Last night I went to a GPAA meeting (Gold Prospectors Association of America) of which I joined about a month ago. They have a Matthews Chapter. I had a blast and also won a 5 gallon bucket of dirt from Cotton Patch Gold Mine here in North Carolina. (Beginners luck!)

Hawk, tell me you're not in Philly.

I hear ya...pants are optional most days around here too!!!

[Doyle]

Do you send them the buckets and they fill them up with dirt/water? How does this work?
