Hey everyone TONYSAC here I dont know if everyone has a ralphs ices in your area but I thought you might want to know that they give all there buckets away it actually cost them money to get rid of them if the garbage men don't take them there 2.5 gallons and should be all clean and rinsed etc if you want the covers you have to ask they put those in the garbage bags and they get taken with the trash there all uniform and the same color a clear white color I just picked up 45 with about ten covers hope you guys can use some I thought this was a great find good luck 

thanks for the tip, Anthony. Too bad they are not local.

Same here.  Great find.

Tony, where is Ralphs ices?  I am not too far from you.

Any food service (deli, grocery store, restaurant) place will get similar plastic food buckets in various sizes for things like fruit salad, pickles, frosting, etc.  I get 2-3 five gallon pickle buckets every week from a local deli.  I've only been doing this for a few months but I already have a large surplus - and this is just one store.

It's really just a matter of making the right connection and you'll have more buckets than you can use.

This is true fleeben but the reason i like these is there all the same no handle a clear whitesh color and they will all look uniform on your property not the typical pickle/spackle bucket or home depot orange or loews grey with there name on it these are just blank no writing they actually look good 

Why don't they have handles?

What was in them originally?

Thanks for he tip!

There 2.5 gallons and they had italian ices in them no wire metal handle like a five gallon there actually pretty nice ill go take a pic now and update in a few 

Heres some pics
