Where to buy water storage tanks in Bay area?

[alve]

I have had the idea for a while now to upgrade my water storage. I wanted something bigger than a Brute Trash can and found this:

The idea was to get two of those, build a stand with one above the other. The top one would hold 100g of RO/DI water and the bottom one 100g of NSW.

Then I was going to put one of these next to the house to collect the waste water from the RO unit to use for watering the lawn and flowers:

When I found out shipping would be $250 I gave up on the idea.

Does anybody know where I could find a company in the Bay Area that sells something similar?

I believe someone by the name of Chicken was selling two large containers. Not sure if he has them still, but you might want to drop him a line. He's either on BAR or RC.

If you need 55G drums, I have two that you can have man.. Heavy duty kind.. The wall is about 1/4" thick.

You will need to wash it really good though. Outside is dirty. They used to store vinegar so it's smell like vinegar when you open the cap. ;D

Thanks for the offer Phong! I have 2 x 44g Brute cans at the moment so it's not much difference compared to the 55g.
I was hoping to find a store in the area that sells more like 100-120g drums. If I can't find anything in that range I will just stick to the Brutes I have now.

Man, I can't wait until I own a house with a big tank, with trash cans full of water ready to go... One day... *sigh*
