Where to get a used plastic barrel locally:

For anyone in Bighorn & Park counties of Wyoming... this is where I got my barrels:

The Pepsi company has large barrels that are available for $10.00 each...cash. You have to go on a waiting list for them. To get on the list, call Fremont Beverages at 754-7295. They must be picked up in Powell. They are suitable for food storage.
