Brute 55 gal trash can

[RJDENNIS]

I am looking for the Rubbermaid Commercial grade Brute 55 gal cans to make my own RO/DI water and cant seem to find any stores in my area that carry them. I have looked at Menards, Lowes and Homedepot but none of them carry them.
I can order them from Menards but you have to buy 3 but I dont need 3
Where do you find yours?
I live in the Kankakee area

FWIW, the Rubbermaid 50 gallon with two wheels works awesome for me. And its still a rubbermaid, so its water potable, and is only like $28.

The one with 2 wheels from menards falls over when it is full. A few other people had it happen too. I luckily had it happen out side so it wasn't that bad. The tricky part was that I all ready drilled a one inch hole in it for a bulkhead. I returned it a few weeks later and they didnt notice the hole.

Not to sound stupid but what does FWIW stand for? I have seen it on other posts.

For what it's worth.

I've never had mine filled more than 3/4 full, so that could very well be the case. But if its going in a stable spot, you can lock the wheels or put a stopper behind it or just lean it against the wall...

Ace Hardware is where I got mine.

I tried Ace and all they had was the 32g cans and no lids.
I ended up ordering from amazon and got them yesterday

All the Home Depots have them. Ask for the Rubbermaid gray Brute can.

Ok here comes another dumb noob question.....
How high do you fill your 55g Brute cans with RO/DI water and how many gallons would it actually hold?
I assume you dont fill it to the top.
My question is because I would like to mix the salt in one of the 55g cans and use the other for plain RO/DI water for top offs

When you fill it all the way the plastic actually folds over and causes it to tip. I am so glad I test filled it outside on the deck by the pool my first time lol.
