Logon to the Phoenix Permaculture Guild and ask this question. They teach how to make barrels for water harvesting so should know where to get barrels.

I get plastic 55 gallon drums and 5 gallon buckets from the carwash free. I was however wondering if they can hold up to a hard freeze with water in them. I'm usually out of rain water by fall though so haven't had to worry about it so far. I've seen smaller steel drums full of water burst from a hard freeze. I would think the plastic would flex more but maybe not when cold or brittle from age and UV exposure.

Tried all the recycling places in the area, with no luck. Any other ideas out there? I was told food producers. The problem I am running into is that many are not listed, and I only know of a few. Bottlers are supposed to be a good thing to try too, but again, I don't know of any around. Thanks for the lead though.

Barrel is gone.
