[Nhcoll-l] Purchase of HDPE pails

[John E Simmons]

Although I have not personally used the Uline pails with Gamma Seal lids,
Laura showed them to me at MSU and I agree, they make a seal that is
superior to any of the other styles of lids I have seen. Thanks to Laura A.
for bringing these to our attention.
