[Nhcoll-l] Purchase of HDPE pails

[Abraczinskas, Laura]

Dear Laura,
I am sure you will get many responses.  We have used plastic HDPE pails from Uline, with Gamma Seal lids.  We have ordered various pail sizes with the matching lids and there was no minimum to order as I recall.  These lids are superior to the snap on/pry off style.

The Gamma Seal lids recommendation was provided to me from this list several years ago!

All the best,
Laura

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Purchase of HDPE pails

Dear colleagues,

We are in the process of updating our wet containers. We would like to buy HDPE pails but it seems providers require a big purchase. I searched in Hofmann Plastics (minimum orders need to be half truckload) and Paragon Manufacturing (boxes of 180, 120, etc). Another option for small orders is Amazon?

I would appreciate your provider's information or recommendations.

Thank you,
