5 Gallon Tight Head Steel Pails

What kind of businesses would be throwing these away in their dumpsters? I'm especially interested in one painted red.

Fabricators of any kind as art supplies like thinners and alcohol come in these drums. Also, "Part A, Part B" epoxies come in these. A friend gave me an empty 6 gallon (5 gallon + 1 free) Thompson's Water Seal can. It was very well made.

Let me know if you find these in the San Antonio area. I would be interested in a couple for myself.

Lot's of organics can be shipped in those but have labels. That smaller bung usually is a type of pressure release valve.

Acetone, Touluene, MEK, Alcohol, Kerosene and any other number of chemicals. You can also buy them new unused from companies like U-Line.

I've never seen one like that with common chemicals. Most have the single pop up opening. I've been on the lookout for 15/16 gallons versions for years but have been out of luck.
