Need Some Big Containers

    Where could I pick up some big containers? I would like to get some that hold maybe 5 gallons or more. It would be a lot easier than just
    having smaller bottles like I do at the moment. Has anyone bought some large containers today or recently? If so, where? How much? and what can they hold?

    If you go to the camping shop (O' Meara's?) on York Hill, just off MacCurtain St., you should be able to get the collapsable plastic ones you'd use in the same way when you're camping. Not sure about price but they have fairly decent capacity. And very durable.

    That's Tents & Leisure, George there is a pleasure to deal with, would definetely recommend. O'Meara's used to be in Blackpool, closed down now, jus have their shop in Dublin left.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't really know what these camping ones look like. Are they the containers towards the end of this page?

    Yeah. Vey similar to the 10l one near the end. Probably have bigger ones also.

    As I write, I have buckets, dishes, tubs etc. out in my back garden, filling away nicely in the rain.

    Anyone else doing this?

    I looked at your link again. It's actually more like the very first one. Totally collapsable and cheap too!
