How many liters is a 5 gallon bucket?

A 5 US gallon bucket holds about 18.9 liters. Our 1 gallon pails hold about 3.8 liters and 2 gallon pails about 7.6 liters.

Do your plastic pails come with lids?

No. Pails are sold without covers, and the threaded Life Latch pails use a screw-top lid sold separately. Contact us if you need help matching a lid.

Are these buckets food safe?

Many pails are made from FDA-compliant virgin HDPE and are suitable for food. Regrind pails are made from recycled plastic and should not be used for food.

What does 90 mil mean on a bucket?

Mil is a measure of wall thickness, with one mil equal to one-thousandth of an inch. A 90 mil pail has thicker, stiffer walls than a 65 mil pail and stands up better to heavy loads and stacking.
