10 to 30 gal barrel? Where to buy
 

I'm looking for a metal or plastic barrel/drum to buy around the 10 to 30 gallon. The 55 gallon is just to big for my needs. Where can a guy find one? Thanks.

If you search for "barrel" in Kijiji there are about 1,200 responses. I'm sure you could find some that would work.

Depending on what you intend to use it for, canoe shops sell plastic barrels around that size for packing supplies.

Do you require one with a top that opens fully for dry goods or one with a screw in plug for storing liquids?

About 8 years ago I scored about 6 poly drums from a jobsite. It was a large hotel and the drums were empty from the laundry detergent they originally held. The maintenance man was kind enough to let me have a few. They hold 15 gallons each and are pretty heavy when full!

You might be able to source something similar if you ask around at places with large laundry facilities such as bigger hotels.

Yeah a plug lid or a full opening lid, either way would be great, 15 gallons would be perfect I think.

I have a plastic drum with roughly 15 gallon capacity that I got from a dairy farm; it originally held teat dip (used to dip cow's teats after milking) or some sort of disinfectant. It is perfect for used oil.

OK second question. Is it to store potable water or will something used from North Korea's biological weapons development lab suffice? So that people can know what to recommend.

It's to store alfalfa pellets in.

Check with a busy Greek restaurant - Kalamata Olives come in large, watertight, plastic barrels.

we sometimes have 30gallon grease kegs

If you are storing dry pellets why not just go pick up a 25 ga garbage can at the hardware store .plastic or Galvanized ,with a lid

Briden Solutions carries these neat screw on lids that you can put on 5-through-7 gallon pails. They also sell food the grade pails lower on the page.

Briden might be able to get other containers from Gamma such as the ones on this link. I think the products might be inventoried less frequently as they don't stack or nest, just a big volume of air so shipping and warehousing them becomes less appealing:

There are also these, though smaller capacity they can stack closer than round pails:

Or one of those grocery stores that sell them in bulk.
