I havent had much luck myself, here in NS. Just ones previously filled with cemicals that I wont use. Ive taken to collecting discarded bathtubs for the same perpose. Let me know if you find any

I see a bunch of white and blue plastic drums piled up at Simpson's Appliance & Repair in River John. He has a buy & sell area. 351-2200.

Thanks for the info. I'll try him and I've got a few other food industry places to call as well. Hopefully one of them will pan out for drums that are still food grade. I'll post the results.

Bad news on Simpsons.Ive already checked them out last year and its a no go. They have all had assorted cleaners in them. Good effort though. Thanks for trying

How about 20 Liter food grade buckets that had nothing in them but veggie fryer oil? I think that is the size. Restaurants throw these away. Using these means changing the plumbing a bit. If these will not work for the rain water collection then they should do well for storing water indoors for dry times.

I see some plastic barrels on Kijiji Halifax this morning in the livestock section, $25 each.
