I would like to make a rain barrel. I have no idea where to get a used
food grade barrel. There are no bottling plants in my area. Are there
other possible sources I could try?

I bought one of these last summer for $120.

1000L and set up at the back of my garage. I stacked it on 3 wooden pallets.

It came in to the country with a detergent in it. A thorough clean got rid
of most of the residue. I use it for the garden, not for drinking water.
