dcarter Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Anyone in the Oh, Ind, Ky area have a good (cheap) source for those 55 gallon barrels? I need about 30 of them. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I've been collecting them Dan. I have 5 at home and usually come across a few here and there at work every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I have some folks working on getting me some from Sysco foods downtown. I also found 10 or so today. As long as this keeps up we should not need anyone to haul any in from very far. I'll make sure to keep folks posted just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would be able to get some from a local uniform company that has a bunch of them in the back of the building but they said they belong to the chemical company and they have to return them. The barrels we have are kinda tore up and we don't have enough for what we are going to need. If I can't get 30 I'll take what I can get. Beggers can't be choosers.

Coach Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I know a guy that can get them by the truck load for free, but they have to be picked up North of Indianapolis. Are you that desperate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Try your local Coke or Pepsi bottling company. We get ours from Coke, and they all smell like Sprite inside. they get the flavoring concentrate from the home company in them, and usually will sell them cheap. Mark K.

Yeah if we can get as many as we need, I'm thinking it would be nice to have more for our club as well. I'll help Kevin out if he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarter Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I know a guy that can get them by the truck load for free, but they have to be picked up North of Indianapolis. Are you that desperate? I wouldn't say desperate. But ours are looking...well...shot up. I would like to have new ones for our upcoming season and the Ohio Sectional. Coach, who has these things and how can I get hold of them? Chris, does M'Burg need any? Edited December 23, 2010 by dcarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah we can always use more plastic barrels. Even a half dozen would be nice, but 10 or 12 would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I placed a call to Mike, who has the barrels, I left him a message. When I hear back from you I will let you all know. Do you have a trailer that can handle 40 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Dan, If you get this worked out let me know. I can get a 16' trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarter Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Dan, If you get this worked out let me know. I can get a 16' trailer. I won't even try to make contact until after Christmas/New Years but I will let you know something as soon as I can. We could make a pick up for us and for M'burg. I don't want to go over board....Sarge how many do you currently have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Six here at the house. Fifteen sitting at a business in town that I can get. And Ten at John Morrell Meats that he wants $1.50 apiece for. And, if it works out, I have a trucking company getting me twenty from Sysco foods. The twenty from Sysco are the only ones I'm not sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmdCtzn Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'd love to get in on the barrels. I'm in Cincinnati and could help haul them around town if needed. I have a 16' box truck that could hold a lot of barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezco Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'll have my guys start saving them for the club, however I will need pick up help. I should be able to get a dozen or 2 before the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I dropped off 5 at the club a few weeks ago. I now have 14 more in my back yard. If Ralph can get his we should be good I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wind up with more barrels than you can use, I'd be happy to take them off your hands. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
