Eric,

I think the ones you linked to are made for trucking stuff around the count=
ry. Probably super heavy duty, more than you are looking for.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Reasonably priced storage bins

Hello all,

My next question is about bulk'ish plastic storage bins.

I'm looking for plastic storage bins, around the size of 24"X15"X18".  Note=
, actual size is not important, just around those dimensions approximately.

However, once you start looking into these, the prices seem counter to buyi=
ng a bunch.  I was thinking of buying maybe 20 or 40 of these, but most wou=
ld mean hundreds (or thousands) of dollars. In fact, Uline starts ONE of th=
ese containers (a little bit bigger than I need) for over $400 A PIECE!

https://www.uline.com/BL_8213/Plastic-Bulk-Containers

Many of Amazon seem to be over $30 a piece.  I didn't want to spend that mu=
ch on these.

Does anyone know of a good reasonable alternative?  Is there maybe a place =
that sells them as surplus or something?

Thanks.

I can't use cardboard, I am trying to keep out mice and moisture (but it do=
esn't need to be airtight if the price is right).  I would prefer something=
 stackable, but if not, I can make shelves. Again, exact size isn't importa=
nt, but big enough to hold at least 5 binders would be a good start.

This is for storage of shop items and such.

Thanks.

Mule
