I have a 5 gallon plastic water can I use for storing drinking water. Today I saw the water pouring out was somewhat green. Is that algae residue or sumthing ?? How can I clean the water can ?? or do I need to buy a new one every few days ??

It's probably algae
A cup of bleach mixed with the water to the top and let it sit till it clears up.
Bleach is poisonous, so wash it out well to you can't smell the bleach.

Yea, it is probably algae. Clean up should be easy, get some anti bacterial dish soap, and you should be good. Bleach is over kill in my opinion, after all algae isn't bad or harm full for you.
