My guess would be he was replying to someone about the free HF bucket.

Really? Here's my own list just for the last couple years:

Sports gear storage.
Scrap wood storage.
Use a hole saw for cat/ferret playhouse.
Obstacle race training (rocks).
Storage for messy craft projects.
Mobile satellite dish concrete base (4x4 post)
Drumming for money on streets of Chicago.

Ok, not the last one, but still.
Also, you can use the bucket for container plants. I have several buckets and planted tomatoes, herbs, etc in them. Make sure to make holes on the bottom for drainage.

Also, my son has a shop vac that attaches to the bucket. He bought it at Home Depot. We also have bigger shop vac.

Quote from killerrabbit1961 :
The Supreme Court ruled many years ago that garbage is fair game.
Garbage specifically? Maybe.

Trespassing? No - still a crime.
Recycling? No - that's a crime as well in most states I've lived regardless of where the bins are located. On your property it's your property, on the curb it is the property of the waste collection company and taking recycling is theft - most likely because it's money generating. I believe that is county specific for me but could be statewide.

I can't say what the "spackling buckets" are going to be used for but if just requires cleaning and is recyclable then many construction sites will recycle. In fact, the job might require that stuff to be recycled to qualify for certain certifications at the end of the job. These are related to green building certifications like Leed.

To answer for your supreme court ruling, probably referring to Greenwood vs California? That would not fly in WA state at least where *state* level laws would increase protections for residents and garbage is seen as inviolate insofar as searches by government employees without a court order. That doesn't discuss random people going through it though. So I'm not 100% if it's at the curb - still 100% illegal if it's on the person's property.

So while you're stealing stuff from a construction site and trying to justify it - you may still be breaking the law. I mean - you're definitely breaking the law by entering the property and taking trash. Possibly two laws involved there.

a 'not a good price', 'not a good product' and an unspecific 'thumb down'.

begs the questions: 1) what price are you looking for? 2) what do you want for two dollars?
Go to any asian restaurant and they have tons of white buckets that they throw away. Granted its got the logo of a soy sauce company but its free

i have several bucket tool organizers, find them better than tool boxes, just take up more room.
the normal Lowe's and HD work good with the weight. Harbor Freight not that good, they flex inwards. white drywall buckets tend to break/crack. the best/strongest bucket ever used were green for pickles from a restaurant.

my local store doesn't have any, but Thursday will be going by one that bs says they have 88, so hopefully will still have a few.

Thanks OP!!! I'm off to buy a mountain worth for $2 each!!!

HDPE right now is about 30% more expensive per lb than these buckets. And I use HDPE for a lot of things. (Since these HDPE buckets are not food safe, it means they are already made from recycled HDPE so it will require a bit less heat, and pressure for me to reform.

You'd be amazed what you can make with plastic, a heavy duty shredder, a hydraulic press, and an oven. 😀
Ooo I'm fascinated. What kind of stuff?

These ugly buckets are ugly, but I can avert my eyes. I just wish HD and Lowe's would make them so the plastic handle grabs don't break.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank tanman99

If you have a Firehouse subs close by they sell their used pickle tubs (so it's food safe) for $5 with all proceeds going to lifesaving equipment for firefighters. And you're recycling. Just an option if it fits your use case.

Why is this getting TD'ed? These go for $5 at HD.

PS: Man the Lowes bucket is fuuuugly though!
Lol honest question, do people really look at buckets and be like "ew, that's ugly"?

I'd rather go with dark blue than bright ass orange from HomeDep.. Or bugar green from Menards LMAO

Great price, but I get my buckets free from grocery store deli. Varying sizes and shapes, almost always food safe and with lids.
