I always have some I need to get rid of.

Some have had acid in so would need a wash out. One's with Hypo in I get £1 back everytime I return.

Others had degreasers in, disifectants and paint stripper. Stripper one's will be no good as it's a nightmare to clean them.

Anyone more than welcome to pick up. Last guy came from Blackburn for some.

Local hotels or schools with a dishwash machine use 25l of dishwash and rinse aid. Wash them out and they are fine.

I used to maintain a private swimming pool and used to get the acid in 25ltr containers
I would take them away free of charge  ;D

fill em with pool water, then rinse out with hose, jobs a good'un

so if you know any one with a pool ask, might not  have them but you do not know until you ask  ;D
