What you'll get from this guide: Learn where to find quality used plastic drums in the Bronx for 30-70% less than new ones, plus safety tips to avoid costly mistakes.
Used plastic drums cost much less than new ones. You can save $20-40 per drum. This means big savings if you need several drums.
Used drums also help the environment. Instead of throwing away perfectly good containers, you give them a second life.
Most plastic drums hold 55 gallons. They're made from strong plastic called HDPE. This plastic resists chemicals and won't break easily.
