You might try a Ford dealer, a speedy lube place or similar places. Talk to the person in charge to see of they have any that you can take off their hands. They might want a couple of buck for them but that's cheaper than they used to be.

If you are in Dairy Farm country, check with any local farmer. They should have 15 to 55 gallon plastic opaque barrels that contained the various cleaning agents used to wash milk pipelines.
Or check the local dairy supplier, they often have stacks of returned barrels and need to get rid of them anyway.

Uhh I picked up the blue plastics at the local feed store for 15 bucks. I also can get large plastic totes from 225 gal to 330 gal for about 110 bucks. I have 2 330 gal and many a barrels. The totes come with a valve on the bottom, built in pallets and a safty cage around them. You should be able to find the same at any chemical supply store.

I have a local drum company, in Norfolk Va, that sells plastic/steel drums for 15-30 each new depending on the configuration (sealed lid/removable). Here is a link to companies that deal in them.

Here in St. Pete (FL) there is a pharmaceutical company that gets a lot of supplies (like glycerin) in 55 gals (steel, plastic). They bind them together when empty for pickup eventually. Sometimes they may have several dozen. I can take as many as I want. See if you have a pharmaceutical or cosmetic manufacturer nearby. Also like Leskwvo said, car washes are good too.
