ProSelect Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Pails — Durable Pails for Kennels and Farms - 9¾", 9-Quart

I searched and searched for a pail that was the right size to use with the BioBag 3 Gallon Food Waste Bags that I use (in Portland, OR, we have to use approved biodegradable bags in our Waste Management compost bins). I had been using a 10 qt Sterilite blue plastic pail for my composting of kitchen scraps, which was a great size, but not very pretty. After my kitchen remodel, the blue plastic bucket sitting on the counter when I cooked had to go. So, this one works perfectly. It's small enough that the bags can be draped over the lip, but large enough to hold all that the bag will. I then knot the top using 4 corners, and go dump it in the roll-cart compost bin. Occasionally the bags "sweat" and there is moisture inside the pail after dumping the bag, but that's a function of the compostability of the bags, and a quick swipe with a paper towel takes care of that. So, if you are looking for a good easy way to compost, this is your best bet. (I did try to use a stainless steel trashcan that had a foot petal and lid, but I didn't want to have to use a foot or a second hand to pitch stuff. Also, I fill my bucket up every couple of days at the max, so I didn't find I was having a stinky food problem. So I don't mind leaving my food scraps in an open topped container.)

I love this bucket. I searched through many of them. I don't know why but I did LOL and I saw this and decided to purchase it. I absolutely love it for a multitude of tasks around our little homestead filling up chicken feed, toting water etc. But if you have a rooster he will not like this bucket 🤣🤣🤣 But I do. I'm still glad I got it. I have to just do my chores when he is locked out of the coop or sleeping..

Great construction and quality. Thank you to ProSelect for using a product sticker that removes easily and leaves no glue or paper residue on the surface.

Very sturdy. Dog likes it. Very difficult to remove label/decal from the bottom inside of the pail.

Seems to be durable and an adequate size for use by our dogs when they’re outside. Easy to clean.

I am very impressed with this pail. I have been using the same one twice a day for over 3 months and my cow has kicked it numerous times, has stomped it, has stomped inside it, and by some miracle it doesn't even have one dent. I don't know how that's even possible. It is very sturdy. I was worried it was going to rust because of reviews I had read but it is not rusting at all. It is a very good pail. I would highly recommend it.

I ended up returning this because my in-laws bought me an electric muller so I didn’t end up needing this pail, but it was nice and heavy and I like that there were no seals or screw heads on the inside. I would have used this for milking!

Best pails for money that I have seen in a long time!

Exactly what I wanted

It looks great, feels secure with a whole pail of water, not about to fall apart.

For my use which is milking by hand, this bucket is too short & only holds 1 gallon & a half of liquid. It would be over full if you need it to be filled with 2 gallons of liquid. I had to replace it with a 4 gallon bucket. Product arrived as stated: a stainless steel, seamless, 2 gallon bucket.

Great quality but could bigger circumference.
