I get them for £25 from a cosmetics factory in Hastings. They have allsorts there as well as IBCs - good clean metal barrels and wooden crates etc. Some stuff they give away just to clear it. I have to fight against my hoarding mentality not to take stuff just because it's free...
They're great for firewood as others have said. When I get round to it they'll be used for making liquid compost too.

I don’t want to have to pay for one
I had 4 IBC’s come and only one spout last time? Does everyone else get a spout with each ibc?

I do. I've got a pile of them somewhere - I could post you a couple if you want them?

Thanks very much for your kind offer! Don’t worry I’ll moan at who ever brings the next ones.

I've never paid more than £10 for an IBC - buying at farm sales. Last 2 I bought were like brand new.

They seem to get broken very easily too.
Never had that problem. Needs a sympathetic operator
They do become brittle in sunlight though.4course

my comment was meant generally, not a problem if you are 100% sure whats been in them ,however this week a racehorse trainer has been found in breach of the rules for an animal in their care . the apparent cause is that a member of the team used hair restorer on himself and cross contaminated a horse from rubbing his hands through his own hair and then passed it on to the horse, its not hard to imagine the consequences of any cross contamination coming from a used container in this ever more regulated/tested industry we are in

In that case buy them new... £60 is what my molasses supplier charges.
The last 2 I bought still had all their stickers on from new/first delivery. Something caustic IIRC. They aren't hard things to wash out - pressure washer and a wee bit detergent
