Default Food Grade Water storage bucket

does anyone know a good place in the Lower Mainland to get a large Water storage container 10-15G. I am currently using a grey garbage can and I think that isn't good enough?

Ideally I would like one that is tall but narrow.

Jason

Look up plastic container manufacturers in the yellow pages and you should find what you need ... there is a company in Calgary ( cant remember the name ) that makes just about every shape and size plastic container / bulkhead etc HTH

Cheers

If you want a big container check to see if you have a local Bottling company (IE Coke, or Pepsi) I picked upa 50g drum tha had syrup in it, washed it out every well. it cost me about $25

But any plastic manufacturer should have any size food grade containers

they had 50 gallon plastic barrels before

The product catalouge on the website is under construction though. Try to find a location near you & give them a call.

Try Spagnolls on Annasis Island. they get grape and beer supplies in concentrate in big plastic barrels that are food grade.
