\<5gallon buckets, preferably with top  
from hearsay, restaurants gets pickles in these types of buckets

ideally free…and near Amherst/Tonawanda, just looking for a few

if you know, please be specific with place (and time if possible, ie they get rid of their food pails every Monday), instead of just “look behind any restaurant”

Buy 5 gallon pals with lids for $2.98 @ Home Depot or TrueValue.

New = clean & clean = food grade.
