can anyone help i need to get a water tank and the type im looking for is the blue round 55 gallon drum like the ones they put fruit juice in as these can be real cheap to buy and have two holes in them this would be the cheapest way for me to get going like the one below thanks people   ???

We scrap loads of these on weekends at a site that we sweep and litter pick (Paint Factory) No idea what was in them but judging by the amount of powder we have to clear up im guessing some sort of pigment. Not every weekend though, they tend to get rid of the in batches. Im there during the week so I will ask.

I am in West london (Harrow ish), so not a million miles away, I am happy to rescue these as they come about  for anyone who can make use of them absolutly free as long as it doesnt end up costing me  :) and they are not sold on (which i am sure you would understand).

 It seems to be the general opinion that these dont cost very much anyway, so it might be a matter of logistics (ie distance wise), Essex is a big place it just depends where you are.

If it doesnt prove practicle then I am sure I can find out a bit more perhaps even who supplies them, I will go in tommorow and see whats about and what I can find out.

If anyone else is interested then let me know here (keeping in mind my location and the fact that I dont actually have any right at this point) I will add an email address to my profile to make it easier.

Best regards
