Rusty metal drums - Stick to plastic only
Unknown contents - Too risky

When to Buy New Instead
Sometimes used isn't worth it:

Want warranty protection - New drums include guarantees
Buying just 1-2 drums - Shipping costs make used expensive
Time is limited - New drums arrive faster
This approach saves money while ensuring you get quality containers that meet your needs.
