Plastic Sealable Barrels (Bristol) - Reality Jones - 25 January 2012
Ok, I've found a place in St werburghs, Bristol that sell those blue plastic barrels with the sealable lids
Here are the sizes and prices. Add 20% for the V.A.T.
30 Ltr £18.90
60 Ltr £25.20
120 Ltr £33.08
220 Ltr £45.68
They have two deliveries a week on Tuesdays and Fridays and they need 24hrs notice for orders as they don't keep the barrels on the premises.
Their address is
Bristol Plastic Containers
Unit 10, Ashley trading estate
Ashley parade
Bristol,
BS2 9XS
Tel. 01179 558500
I missed out the 210 Ltr £31.50 ??
That makes it cheaper than the 120 ltr, they must have made a f##k up on the price list.

Thanks NR.
These are unused straight from the factory. I wanted to get something that I knew was uncontaminated for mass food / equipment storage,

I use new barrels for food and used barrels for other goods. I am always looking for old barrels and bakeries are good places to look. Kenneth Eames.

I've just realised, there's a bakery warehouse/factory thing just around the corner from where I work!!!
RJ, don't bother buying any barrels yet. I'll check what I can get off them.

Kenneth,
Make sure your food barrels are food grade. They leech over time and we don't want to find out after TSHTF than they are not food grade.
RE: Plastic Sealable Barrels (Bristol) - Scythe13 - 26 January 2012
I've just been to a couple of huge backery factory places, and nobody said they use the big blue barrels any longer. They fell out of favour years ago, apparently. It was 2 different places that said that.
I'm thinking of checking out animal feed places. See if they are chucking any away.
RE: Plastic Sealable Barrels (Bristol) - Reality Jones - 26 January 2012
I intended on filling some with lots of individual Mylar bags of food.
Would I still need to make sure the Barrels were food grade?
