Where in Los Angeles could I buy a PLASTIC BUCKET?

Question

I need to buy at least a 5-gallon plastic bucket in Los Angeles but I don't where. I have seen them online but they don't sell by unit.

Any ideas? I have not seen any buckets like this for sale but you might! Let me know. Thank you!

Answer 1

Hi,
I always go to restuarants like "Burger King", hot dog places,
ice cream shops.

Many,many of those places will give them to you free!
Any place that uses a lot of pickles, will usually throw the buckets away when empty.

I've gotten well over a hundred "free" 5 gal. buckets, by just asking.
You can, too!
Many places will save them for you, just ask.

Hope this helps,
Dave

The Home Depot sells them for around $5. They have them in all white or the orange bucket with the Home Depot logo on it. In a real pinch there are those street musicians that use them as makeshift drum sets. I'm sure they will part with one if the price is right.

Yes, the hardware or building supply stores in your area should carry these buckets. Often, you can find them in, or near, the paint departments. You can sometimes find 2 to 5 gallon buckets at your local grocery store too... especially if they have a delicatessen, or bakery. Local restaraunts are another source.... as mentioned by someone else, you can often get pickles, or other food items in these, in bulk. Usually, the restaraunt (or grocery store) will throw these buckets away, rather than clean them up. One more source... a janitorial supply company. Floor wax is often sold in 2 to 5 gallon buckets.... you might be able to contact a local cleaning company to see if they have any extra buckets. Good Luck
