What you'll get from this guide: Find reliable sources for used plastic drums in Frankfort, compare prices, and avoid common buying mistakes that cost you money.
Used plastic drums cost 50-70% less than new ones. For example, a new 55-gallon drum costs $80-120, while a used one costs $25-40. If you need drums for storage, shipping, or collection, used drums work just as well.

Food-grade drums (safe for storing food or drinks)
Industrial drums (for chemicals or waste)
Open-top drums (easy to fill and clean)
Closed drums (better for liquids)
To buy: Visit RePackify's website, find the Frankfort section, and request a quote. They'll tell you what's available and shipping costs.

Inspect the condition: Look for:
Cracks or holes in the plastic
Damaged lid or rim
Missing gaskets (rubber seals)
Strong odors that won't wash out
Understand the grades:
Food-grade: Safe for food and drinks
Reconditioned: Cleaned and inspected
As-is: Sold without cleaning or repairs
Typical prices in Frankfort:
Basic used drum: $25-35
Food-grade used drum: $35-45
Reconditioned drum: $40-55
Shipping adds $15-25 per drum unless you buy in bulk.
Buy in bulk: Most sellers offer discounts for 10+ drums. For example, one drum costs $35, but 20 drums might cost $30 each.
Time your purchase: Sellers often have sales at year-end to clear inventory.
Check shipping options: Picking up drums yourself saves shipping costs if you have a truck.
Ask about damaged drums: Drums with small dents or scratches cost less but work fine for many uses.
Not asking about previous contents: A drum that held soap is fine. A drum that held pesticides is not.
Forgetting about lids: Some sellers sell drums without lids. Make sure you know what's included.
Ignoring shipping weight: Plastic drums are light (10-15 pounds empty), but shipping costs add up quickly.
Not measuring your space: A 55-gallon drum is 35 inches tall and 23 inches wide. Make sure it fits where you need it.
