Subject: Plastic buckets - be careful!
Please note! I have read that plastic buckets with HDPC and a recycle code of 2 are ok for food. This is not correct! Be careful about the buckets you use. When you dont know, check with the mfg. Usually you can find them on the WWW or look them up in the yellow pages via a net search. I am in the process of repackaging because of this problem. Take care - God Bless - Bill

Subject: Here is Why
I am no chemical engineer, but HDPC is a general catch-all. I contacted a company called Leaktyte about their buckets that I had purchased. I was told in very certain terms that their buckets were not food grade. I have checked this out with another Mfg. with the same results. I feel that if you used buckets from your local Dairy Queen or food supplier you will be ok. The buckets in most large hardware stores etc. are probably not food grade (from my experience). When you dont know, you are putting your self at risk by not looking into it. A phone call can be cheaper then getting sick or having all your food messed up. Cheers - God Bless-Bill

Subject: your buckets
Hello will - It is quite possible your buckets are ok. The problem is that food grade buckets have the HDPC and number 2 recycle number on them as well. The FDA does not require that a bucket that is food grade have this on the bucket (they should!). The only way to know is to actually contact the Mfg. about their bucket. The non food buckets I am replacing had a real stinky plastic smell to them. This got me thinking about them. The buckets wont go to waste, as I plan to store non food items like soap, ammo etc in them. The buckets could be used to transport water and food, but not long term. The problem with non food buckets is over the long term. The vapor from the plastic can react with what is stored in them. This will taint the food with things tha are not good for humans. I THINK these buckets could be used for food storage if the food was sealed in another container like a mylar bag etc. I am not sure about this. All the above is what I think. Check it out for your self. God bless - Bill

We sell'em too, but they are so bulky to send! If you can find them used locally you are miles ahead. Sometimes companies even give them away just to be rid of them. Try any major food processors in your area to see if they get raw products in them. There are three or four places in my locality and I don't live in a large metropolitan area.

I picked up a couple of buckets from local deli that had cake icing in them and they were labeled - HDPE with a 2. Previous note had HDPC with a 2 as food grade. I assume these are food grade since food came in them or is that too big a leap of faith? The buckets are great, 90 mil, thicker than the buckets from the building supply house which are 80 mil.

Subject: cat litter buckets
George......It is important that you put stored food in FOOD GRADE buckets. Otherwise you may have chemicals and flavors from the plastic, leaching into the food stored in them. Thats why I, myself, try to get restaurant, bakery buckets. They are cheap, and also food grade. So you won't have to worry about any chems in your food. Perhaps you could use the cat little buckets if you have food grade plstic bags to line them with? Maybe Art Duetschi (sp) could tell us for sure aobut this?

Putting food in food grade bags within non-food grade buckets is questionable in my mind for the following reasons:
Even if you seal the bag correctly, bags do breath, and after a period of time the plastic smell from the bucket can get through the bag.
As discussed elsewhere here on the food storage forum, getting food grade plastic bags big enough to fit a bucket is just about impossible locally.
As used food grade buckets just aren't that hard to get locally, may I suggest you do a bit of scratching first before you choose to go the easier route and use non-food grade buckets.

I am trying to understand the context of this thread, so I don't waste hours on stuff that doesn't apply to me. Correct me if I am wrong: If I am buying my food in the form of super-pails from Walton Feed, do I need to be worrying about all this stuff about food grade buckets and where to find them?

Ralph, you are correct in assuming the buckets Walton Feed packs your food in comes in food grade buckets. This is true of all the food storage companies in the U.S.
There was a reason I was telling folks how to get food grade buckets locally. As the moderator for this forum, I feel it is much more important for me to help people get their food storage together in the best possible way to meet their needs. It would be very small of me to use this forum to push our products. Hopefully this will help you better understand why I say some of the things I post,

Hi I've used the cat litter plsatic containers for water. The ones I used are from Costco Price club. Before i used them I called the manufacturere and talked extensively with their rep. He assured me that the containers are indeed food grade and that they encourage people to use them.
However - since it's real hard to wash them out completely, I've used them to store water for the toilet and for other uses - even bathing once it's rinsed out good. But before I'd drink the water, I'd sure run it through a filter!

Subject: Getting that smell out of buckets.
The following comes from Alan T. Hagan's The Food Storage FAQs from misc.survivalism:
"I've had fairly good luck doing it this way. Since vinegar is the primary smell in pickles and it's acidic, we used a base to counteract it. First we scrubbed the bucket well, inside and out, with Dawn dish detergent. I imagine most any sort will do. Then we filled the buckets with hot water and dissolved a cup of baking soda in each. Stir well, get the bucket as full as you can and put the top on. Put the bucket in the sun to keep it warm so the plastic pores stay open as much as possible. In a couple of days come back and empty the buckets. Rinse them out, fill with warm water again and add about two cups of bleach and reseal. Put back in the sun for another couple of days. Empty out and let dry with the tops off. We completely eliminated the vinegar smell this way. It might be possible to cut the time down a lot, but we haven't experimented that much since we can't get that many pickle buckets. Good luck!"

Subject: Help sealing buckets ?
Howdy all, I have a nearly unlimited supply of used/clean food safe buckets. All shapes and sizes. My problem is lids. These buckets have had the lids cut off for the most part, and they are unusable.
Question: How do I seal buckets without lids ? I know I can order new 'gamma'lids for the five gallon round buckets, but how about the square three gallon ones ? I was thinking of silicone sealer and heavy plastic, actually gluing the plastic to the upper rim of the bucket. Thanks,
Art

>I was thinking of silicone sealer and heavy plastic,

Art, I'm thinking this isn't a very good idea because the agents that dry out of the silicone sealer as it sets would permeate the food in the bucket.
Gamma seal lids would work great, but they are so expensive that I'd guess you would only want enough of these around for the buckets you are actually getting into.
There is another solution. We can sell you the regular lids by themselves for 75 cents. They aren't in the catalog so you will need to ask for them special. Your square buckets? I don't have any good ideas here. Does anyone else?

Thanks for the advice. My round buckets I will order some new lids for if the shipping is not prohibitive. The square ones I will probably relegate to storage of other non-sensitive items like soap and such. All these buckets come out of a prison kitchen and are scrubbed clean. The supply is darn near unlimited for my uses and I hate the thought of wasting the resource.

Thanks for the thought, but it won't work. The cooks in the prison are prisoners. My friend just runs the kitchen for a shift. These square buckets held fruit sections and the lids are not a type that can be saved on removal. I'll use the round for food and save the square for dry goods. They can still be sealed with sheet plastic and duct tape.

Subject: saving buckets
You need to know that as good an idea s sealing those used buckets with sheet plastic and tape/silicone is, it won't fly. I am sorry, but you will want lots of buckets and those sealed without lids will not stack. I dont know how much room you have for your storage, but you probably don't have enough room for setting them out all over the floor in one layer. go for the lids. If you have a SAfeway grocery store near by, or any chain store with a bakery in it, they will sell you the food grade buckets for about $2, with lid, in good conditon. You can't beat that anywhere. I have used them for 30 yrs and NEVER had a problem. All they need is a good wash and a good drying. You also won't get any with pickle smell, they don't use pickles in the bakery. Try any grocery chain store with a bakery, they all have the same equipment.

Subject: Square buckets
Thanks for the response. I have a good supply of traditional round buckets and lids. Just about all I want and free too. I also have several stacks of SQUARE buckets, which are the ones I wondered about sealing as I have no lids for them. I have decided that they will be used for non-food storage and THESE will be sealed with heavy plastic and duct tape. As for stacking, yes they will. Remember, they are 'square'. I just turn each one 45 degrees from the last one, and they stack quite nicely.

I am ordering several hundred pounds of Diatomaceous Earth for my own use and can include your needs at .60 cents a pound. The drums with screw on caps can be used for water storage, fuel storage and even grain storage by using a funnel for filling. Anyone in the area of the NW corner of Tennessee or the SW corner of Kentucky could pick these up. Also if there is anyone in this area that would like to share with me bulk orders of freeze dried foods for the purpose of canning or storing in buckets I have found a place to order this.
Let's begin to prepare now for our families and as many others as possible. God Bless, Joe Stout

Joe...is this DE you are ordering, human grade DE? The more I think of it, the more I figure it could be very useful in a time of crises. What, so far, I have found on the web has told me I can use it to filter water, use it for bugs around the house and in the garden. And according to one man who raises ostrich, he uses it for internal parasitic treatment and lets the animals dust with it to keep down external parasites. Since we all know the comforts of cleanliness may be sparse in the Y2K, it seems to me we could be very grateful for this product. But I am not trying it without knowing more about it. I'd like to use it on my pets here at home and see how they do, but I don't want pool grade DE.

Subject: DE, 55 gal. Drums
Lynn, Yes it is food grade. The ostrich man is the one that gave me the company to call. He buys it by the thousands of pounds at a time. The company is sending me a brochure and I will have more info later. You can use it on pets for fleas. I also discussed with him about raising ostiches for food. He raises them for breeding stock. He states that they will graze just like cattle and also raise their own. A good fence is all you need. This is something I am considering as the time approaches nearer.
From the research I've done if you use DE on grain you can wash it off but you really don't even have to do that. Humans can consume it without any ill effects.
For large amounts of grain in bins. I just talked to a local farmer that raises white corn and contracts to a company that makes hominy. He states that for storage of any length of time there is a chemical treatment for grain. The treatment for livestock feed is different and should not be consumed by humans. It colors the grain and is noticeable.
In answer about the food grade barrels they make great food and water storage. The metal drums do have a coat of some kind of paint which might dissolve from fuel storage. Don't know about the plastic drums, they have no coating.

Why not use gallon water jugs to store small quantities of grains, beans, etc? If you let the water all dry out, then fill it up to the brim, shouldn't it keep for a long time. Whole grains and beans should last many years that way. And if any goes bad, then only perhaps that one gallon is affected. What say, those with more experience?

Kevin; I once had some firends who divorced and sold or gave awy most of their food storage (talk about dumb)I was fortunate to be given somet higns. One item was a gallon ice cream bucket that had been filled with macaroni and SALT. The salt kept the bugs out, and the macaroni was still clean and good. Now, cookin geverything from scratch, like we would need to do, Y2K, would use a lot of salt. I dont think we would need all the salt we could use covering all the mac we would want. But I guess in a small project, it works okay.

I don't use these for food storage, but they do work great in the garden in the spring as little greenhouses to set plants out several weeks earlier than I normally could. All you have to do is cut about and inch and a half up from the bottom, use the top part for a greenhouse with and without lid and the bottom as a pot to start plants in. That way nothing goes to waste.
