Post subject:  Plastic Barrels & IBC's in Southern California

Hey Everybody,
I'm not sure how many members are in So. Cal,
But I've been trying to find a supplier of barrels
and IBC's for quite a while.
I've found a great guy in Perris, which is Riverside County.
And wanted to share the find.
Oh, and for a fee he will deliver, if you're in the general area.
It never hurts to ask.

He has both the open and closed top barrels:
"I usually get $35 ea on the barrels but found a new supplier (at least for the moment) so I can sell them to you for $20 ea."

As well as IBC's:
"I get $125 each for my totes. If you buy more than 1 I discount to $110 depending on order"

He also has them listed on ebay...

For the suspicious minds out there, no I don't get a cut, but it might help others get their projects going!

He just delivered some barrels and two totes for me.

So, I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions in the near future!

Can he tell you exactly what was in them previously?

I've been getting my barrels here in Central FL from a guy who works for a chemical company. He is careful to leave the stickers on them so people can know what was contained in them.

The ones I got from him were from a car wash and contained soap. They've been powerwashed with water at 140*F.
And I'm going fill them with water and let them sun bleech for a few days or weeks.
But they did come with the stickers removed or washed off.

As for his feedback, he's new to ebay and had 1 negative on a deal.
I don't know the details on it, but on the deal I just did with him, it went smooth and he went above and beyond.
I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't recommend him.

Add to that the fact that the next best price I found was double, I thought others might benefit from it.
