Source For Square Buckets for Canoe Storage Needed
 

When I canoe I store lots of food in five gallon plastic buckets. They are
inexpensive, work well and keep things pretty dry. Unfortunately they are
usually round and it'd be a lot better use of space if I could locate some
square buckets.



I used to get the round buckets from restaurants but now it's easier and
cleaned to buy them at Home Depot or someplace similar. Can anyone tell me
if there is a source for square five gallon plastic buckets?



Thanks

I buy kitty litter from Costco in rectangular plastic buckets. The
buckets are reasonably clean, just rinse them out. Know anybody with a cat?

Short order restaurants get pickles and mayonnaise and some other condiments
in square 5 gallon buckets. Get to know your local restaurant cook or
server, ask for some. I get mine that way, washed even!

mmmmm don't wash em! Nothing like pulling some nice dry polypro from the
pickle bucket and smelling like a dill dude! After all, one wearing of said
polypro and it will smell worse on it's own :-)

A regional supermarket here in the midwest (meijers in Michigan)sells
generic brand laundry detergent in 5 (or maybe 4) gallon square
buckets... I am guessing you would find others selling bulk detergent
in square buckets like that across the country.

I am guessing the detergent smell would come out pretty quickly with a
good wash-out.

If not, I would certainly recommend changing your brand of detergent.

Kitty litter comes in buckets that are not equally square but they
aren't round. They might meet your needs for better fit in a canoe. I do
not remember the brand name since my wife found a better brand in
cardboard boxes. The tops of the buckets are well connected to the
buckets and would be hard to lose.

This is a good time to mention that rounded corners make a much better seal
then sharp ones.
