Looking to pick up a used one somewhere. One of the large cube plastic containers/carboy that are for liquid storage(with or without metal cage exterior. Don’t know what they are properly called to search for them. Or if they come different sizes???

IBC totes is what I think you are asking about.

I know what you're talking about. My company just gave a bunch away to employees that wanted them. I forgot what they are called. Check your local recycle/dump/scrap yard.....what are you using it for? I wanted one but many had nasty chemicals in them. Even after washed, I didn't trust them for my use.

facebook market place usually has quite a few

There's 2 sizes, look for a food grade one....I see them on FB marketplace anywhere from 50 to 100 bucks...

Yes .those are the ones I'm talking about. .I must have been typing when you responded.

I have at least 4 you can have for free if you want to come to Iowa to get them

Farm supply places and farms have them here but like said most would be toxic for most home uses. The last 2 I had were full of fish oil they went to the Rez for a DIY septic tank system. I’d definitely go food grade no matter what.

Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist both have IBC Totes on them, in huge numbers. They range from at least 240 to 350 gallons in size. Price wise, they range from free to $200.00 for the new, food grade ones. I have around 40 IBC totes in use. They are very useful. I use them for raised beds, composting, bench tops for plants, heated rooting cloners, brooders cages, tanks for fish, storing wood for grilling and for storage. I've never paid more than $10.00 for one and have gotten most for free.

Depending on what you are using them for, you need to be careful of what was in them.

Market place or Craigslist.

If you have a surplus supply place check with them, our scrapyard here has a bunch they use for holding separate items.

Lots of them around most here have had chemical in them. If you are using them for watering, tree or livestock I would make sure you get ones that never had chemical in them. I just sold two good ones that I used for livestock and for trees.

This. ^^^^

I want to put one on a small trailer to transport and store some bulk shelled corn thru winter to light feed wildlife. One preused with really toxic liquids wouldn’t be good. I’ll mod a port to gravity fill to a bucket to spread out a couple times a week. Price of Prebagged corn is all going to the middleman.

Around here there are fertilizer companies that give them away and keep records of what was in them.

Can you weld?
A few years ago I got a tote, a pair of 3500 lb axle hubs (not a whole axle, just hubs and stubs) and some scrap iron. I made a water trailer for watering trees. For low speed off road suspension is not necessary.

That’s an awesome build some guy!! Pump built in and all!

Drake, if you search for IBC totes on Marketplace there’s a fair amount of businesses that have both food grade and non food grade ones cleaned and available. The one place in Cambridge is charging $125 each for cleaned food grade or $115 for 2 or more. You can find them
Cheaper if you watch, but that’s what one of the businesses is charging and you could have one tomorrow. Good luck! Happy trapping! ScottW

Thanks! I've been very pleased with it.

While welding it together I wrote my email address (which is firstname.lastname@gmail.com) with the welder on the toungue well up under the tote, about 10-12 inches long. You have to crawl up under the trailer to find it, and now that its covered in dirt it could be easily overlooked even then. So I don't expect a theif to quickly find it and grind it off. If it ever gets stolen and I can find it, that should make proof of ownership straightforward.

I got an empty one for 25$, it had tire fluid in it, from a construction company

I checked market place last night, here, a food grade tote runs a hundred bucks....
