Best Hazardous Storage Drums of 2025

"I was pleased with the fast shipping and the condition upon arrival. I'm using it to build an automatic watering system for my rabbits, and it's exactly what I needed at a fair price."

"I decided to create a rain barrel with this container. The plastic lid was easy to cut, and it had a pre-marked circle for the spigot. Though I noticed the lid ring is plastic and could wear out in the sun, I believe it will hold up well long-term."

"Using this barrel, I was able to send food to Jamaica after the recent hurricane. I felt confident that the container was secure and could withstand the long-distance travel, which made me feel good about my contribution."

"I find this container to be very durable. It holds water well and is lightweight when empty. The top seals tightly and has been exposed to sunlight for months without any signs of damage."

"I bought this for my dust collector, and it works nicely. The size and functionality are great, but I was disappointed that the lid is warped, which prevents me from giving it a perfect rating."

"These buckets turned out to be too large for my needs, and I was disappointed that they would not accept returns. Just a heads-up for anyone considering this product!"

"I'm using these barrels for water storage in my greenhouse. They fit perfectly in my setup, and while I wish they were black for better heat absorption, the color adds fun to the space! They're sturdy, and I can even sit on them if needed. Just a heads up though, if filled to the brim and moved, some water might splash out."

"These barrels are perfect for fermenting cabbage. I used one for 9 large heads and 18 gallons of water, and it turned out so much better than small buckets! The lid is great, allowing me to seal it tightly. I did remove the foam gasket as it wasn’t food-safe. Overall, I'm thrilled with this purchase and plan to buy more as gifts."

"This container has made water changes in my fish room much easier. I no longer have to wrestle with five-gallon buckets! The lid fits well, and the size is perfect for my moving carts. It’s a practical solution I wish I’d bought sooner."

“I needed something that would fit my style, and it looks perfect for that.”

“In my shop, I use this as part of my dust collector system. It performed just as I expected, and the cover comes off and goes back on easily. I’m pleased with my purchase, although I’m a bit puzzled by the high price.”

“I bought a few of these to keep my sleeping bags and clothes organized.”

"I mounted a Dust Deputy on top of this drum, and it works great! The drum is robust and withstands strong vacuum suction without any issues. I reinforced the lid with plywood, and now it stays flat, even under pressure. It's easy to drill holes and cut for the Dust Deputy, making the whole assembly straightforward. I love how it fits through doorways easily and holds a lot of dust!"

"I purchased this barrel to store my grain supplies safely. Initially, I was worried because the walls were pushed together during shipping. However, I found out that it’s designed to flex, which didn’t harm the drum at all. The construction quality is excellent, and the lid seals tightly, ensuring my contents remain air-tight. I plan to buy another for my brewing needs!"

"Using this canister with my Dust Deputy cyclone has been a game-changer for my dust collection system. The rigid design holds up well against strong suction and maintains a tight seal. I managed to create a custom setup that works perfectly, with no dust escaping into my shop vac. It’s an ideal setup for anyone looking to improve their dust control!"

"I used this as a base for my Dust Deputy. It worked perfectly! The lid is thick and strong, withstood vacuum pressure without deforming. I cut a 3-inch hole easily with a hole saw. The drum is wider and more stable than my previous one, and I love the handles for easier emptying."

"I purchased this for a two-stage dust collector. It works reasonably well, but the convex top is a little tricky. I managed to make it work with a piece of plywood. The yellow container is tough and the closure is satisfying. Now I can check the dust level without any hassle."

"Many folks are using this for their Dust Deputy setups. It's definitely sturdy and much stronger than a typical 5-gallon bucket. The lid is a bit tricky to open and close, but it seals well. Overall, it's not perfect, but it’s a very good product that I’m happy with."

"This product is perfect for my RV trips as a backup water supply when I'm dry camping."

"I found it a bit expensive compared to other sizes, but it fits perfectly in the space I have."

"Before purchasing, I had a question and was pleasantly surprised by the quick response I received from customer service."

"Overall, I am very happy with both my shopping experience and the product I received."

"I find this product works well, but I can't shake the feeling that it's overpriced for what it is."

"It's a decent product, but honestly, I'm just paying for a bucket and lid."

"I plan on using it for my dust collection system in my woodworking shop. The tub is extremely sturdy. I upgraded my review after using it with my cyclone dust separator. The lid was a bit wavy initially, but it turned out fine when assembled."

"I received this barrel today and was very pleased with how sturdy it is! It will serve as a great dust receptacle for my shop dust collection system. The only downside was a slight bulge at the bottom that caused it to rock a bit, but since it's just a dust bin in the corner, it's manageable."

"The plastic lid seal is very strong, but I had to trim it slightly for easier removal after emptying the waste material. The drum is lightweight, but I needed to reinforce it internally since my 6 hp vacuum caused some collapse. Now it works well without any leaks or issues!"
