Q:I have Calcium Chloride Ice Melt that needs an air tight container to be stored from year to year or it gets as hard as cement. Will this bucket work?Alice

Answer This Question
A: Hi Alice - It is more a function of the lid. You will want to make sure you seat the lid tightly. Either an easy-off (search 723222) or the screw-top lid (266050) would be the best. A gasket lid during the months you are not using it would be an extra seal, as well. It also depends on storage. Store it in a place that will stay cool all year. Any humidity will affect the moisture inside the bucket. Also, you don't really need a food-safe bucket. Get the orange Home Depot bucket - it's less expensive! Lids fit all of our 5-gallon buckets.

Q:Does this include a lid

Answer This Question
A: Bill, our lids are sold separately so you can pick the lid that best suits your purpose. Currently, the only food safe lid we sell to Home Depot is the "Screw-Top Lid" (search #266050). It is a two part design; a ring sits permanently on the lip of the bucket and the middle section screws on and off. Our bucket are standard size so you might find another type of food-safe lid that fits.

Good for collecting Maple sap
I bought 8 of these to collect maple sap this season and they're working well so far. I bought screw on lids and drilled holes in the tops to run the hoses into the buckets. It keeps the bugs out and i just swap the lid for one without holes when the buckets fill and set aside until boiling day. The only Con is the $17 cost of the bucket and lid together. Save money and buy a homer bucket for anything that isn't food related.

So many uses - great quality
These buckets are great quality, and perfect for so many uses! We use them for dog food storage, cat food storage, turtle/tortoise pellet food, fish food, bird seed... they keep rats and other critters from being interested or entering our house/garage. We have used these containers to mix small batches of cement or other mixes as needed. We have also used these for camping toilets, or toilets during water outage. These have held up to all our uses! I highly recommend.

Perfect for storing food items purchased in bulk
Great sturdy bucket. I bought the heavy Leaktite inner twist lid to go with this bucket to store bulk sugar for my hummingbird feeders. I've been using this setup for 2 years, and it works just great. It's easy to get into the container with the inner twist off section, and I just leave the scoopers inside to quickly dish out what I need. I've never had an ant or other critter get in. I just purchased another Leaktite food grade bucket to store bulk dry rice in my pantry. Definitely saves money to buy in bulk.
These buckets and lids are the way to go.

These are great! My granddaughters and I paint them, puncture holes in the bottom and use them as flower pots, especially for give aways. Inexpensive and fun and plants flourish!
