Free Drums & Carboys
Kudos to Mark M. for the great tip on where to find free drums -- the local carwash can be a great resource. The coin-operated self wash doesn't have enough volume, and I've only once caught the manager at one, but the full-service car wash seems to be a great source for drums and carboys. I've picked up 4, and two attendents are keeping more for me. Great tip, Mark!
So, not only am I getting great size drums for washing and methanol, but I'm keeping them out of the landfill as well. Since they only contained soap before, they're pretty safe as greywater -- I've been putting a couple gallons of water in them, and then using it to wash my car, with great results. Heck, it is carwash soap after all, why not use it to wash my car?
