    I drove past a local landscape place today. They had these sitting out by the road for free, I love using these for firewood. Makes it easy to move with the tractor. I usually bought these for shorts and uglies but I may be grabbing a few more and use them for all my firewood. image.jpeg

    $60-$75 around here. $90-100 if it was a food grade material. Lots of people use the food grade ones for water and maple sap storage tanks.
    Great score! Grab them all, clean 'em out at the DIY carwash, and sell off what you don't want!

    Wowsa, that's an incredible find, Swags. I bet we could think up all kinds of stuff to put into those in addition to uglies.

    They're very cool, but I can't figure out WTH I'd do with them?
    I'd most likely grab as many as I could, figure a use out later. But that's just me.
    Swags- nice score

    I ended up with 17!

    I am thinking about the same thing in my carport woodshed. Line the side with these totes and stack against them.

    One really nice thing is we are planning on selling the house we are in now. So all the wood I am gathering is going to our new lot. I'm not sure what we are planning on doing with it yet as far as where the wood will go. So I am using these to stack the wood then once we build and move over there and I know where I want the stacks it won't be a problem to move the stacks.

    Wow...17! At $50 a piece, you put over 800 beans back in your pocket and more importantly, got a way to move the weight when you move! That's a double score at the bare minimum!

    What did the landscaping guy use em for? Mulch dye is my guess.

    Btw, I'd be I'm the market for one of those round lids for a rain barrel project I have. Wanna sell one?
