Where are milk crates?

[Paul Lee]

Hi everyone- silly questions, but where are people having luck finding milk crates these days? No more neighborhood dairies around here :-(

 

[Leo Ticheli]

Google. More sources than you could possibly need.

Depending on your use, you might want to search for "coroplast containers."

Good shooting and best regards,

Leo

I picked my last set on ebay.

Filmtools has them or you could stalk behind grocery stores...

I got 3 heavy duty milk crates on ebay for like $15 or $18 bucks, can't remember.
But they were black in color, and well worth the few dollars spent.

All the Best!

Hi Paul,

Filmtools has them and they also have the handy galvanized inserts that keep crap from falling out of the bottom.

Out back behind Dairy Queen. That's a great place to find some ;-)

All good suggestions and thanks, everything from buying new ones and paying to ship them (¡ crazy !) to steeling them from behind the DQ! Love our business!

behind a dennys or ihop

Isnt it stealing to snag them from behind a business? They are a durable good that gets reused.

Filmtools has them for like $19 brand new, i've been happy with them

Umm, so what are you doing with your milk crates, or shouldn't I ask?

Are you using them as cheap apple crates?

 

[Peter Strietmann]

West Marine has them for $19.99.

Crates are great for hauling around all sorts of junk and they pack well in a truck- stingers, wedges, etc. They don't weigh much, you can see what's in them, and dirt and water go through them. Just don't put your brand new Motorola Razr in one and expect it to stay there.

I've been using "Fresh Step" kitty litter buckets. They're sturdy as hell, come with a handle, and I actually need the cat litter, but they've recently changed the design to something less desirable.
Unfortunately they don't stack very well and you can't see the contents. But if you have a cat, they're sort of free.

I think these were the ones I got last.

Paul,

We have 20-30 new crates. The ones with grey plastic and metal trim.

Stop by, so you don't have to pay shipping.

 

[Paul Lee]

Oh cool- is that Scott or Dean there? PM me a price please.

I got them at a WalMart superstore (grocery dept) I just grabbed one full of milk bags and bought it with my groceries. It came with free milk.
