Can anyone tell me where they get the big blue barrels I've seen so often recycled as waterbutts?

Thank you

Hi Diana
If you have any industrial estates in your area. Got have a word with the companies. They usually can't wait to get rid of them. But be warned wash them out really well before use. :)

I've often seen them on ebay in the commercial section.

Thanks Jesse, I have looked at ebay + hold that as a backup.

Thanks Jill, I'll ask - if you don't ask...

If anyone else is interested, I've just found this site: http://www.thetankexchange.com/raintanks.htm

I have a feeling farmers may have them. Its worth asking if you know any.
