The reason some would condemn you for using them is because some see your use of them as supporting Agriculture. A huge amount of the totes originally contained farm herbicides. They are safe to use but some far left environmentalist anti-agriculture people may see your use of them as a contributing factorGenerally just curious, why would you be condemned for using IBC totes to store firewood? You are basically recycling if you ask me.,...........

I completely disagree with them
Well sadly there are many folks who have no idea where the food they eat comes from. I am always amazed by folks that talk about how we should not be feeding corn to hogs,cattle, and other animals. They say it is inefficient and it should be grown for human consumption. It shows their total ignorance of agriculture in general.The people that don’t support agriculture can go Hurgry, where does there food come from? What a joke

Now to get back on topic. Out of curiosity I looked for totes on our local craigslist. Wow, folks are asking a lot. I guess I need to look for some this winter
You might have mentioned it, but where in IL are you?Well sadly there are many folks who have no idea where the food they eat comes from.

Who are "They"? Your recycling people? I just cut my up and place in my recycle dumpster after a quick rinse. Especially if it's food grade stuff like yours.I would love to get one or two totes but in Mass they are like$150 or so. Most of them had olive oil or vodka in them. I would love to recycle the totes. Not sure if I cut them up they would take them. I can see them avoiding it being afraid of what was in them. I would like to think that if I had proof they were food grade someone would take them for rain water storage or whatever else.
I am in far western Illinois right on the Iowa border. I live on top of the Mississippi River Bluff looking across to Muscatine Iowa. We have no Illinois towns. I am almost exactly half way between the Wisconsin and Missouri tri state borders.You might have mentioned it, but where in IL are you?
I am really puzzled by how much folks are concerned about what the totes originally contained. I am not sure why it matters. You discarding the plastic tote and just using the metal frame. If the tote still contains some liquid just drill a hole in one corner and empty it out into empty milk jugs. If it is oil or coolant many auto parts will take it for recycling. If is vodka, olive oil, or something else food grade just dispose of it in your garden. Most are not going to use the plastic so triple rinse it and cut it onto pieces for normal recycling.RGrr c.............. He was honest and told me that they are used for either motor oil or coolant. I would think farmer pesticides like glyphosate would be worse.

Where is the danger in it? What type of danger?It can matter a whole lot what was in the container. Offering generic advice that all totes are equally safe is not only poor advice, it is dangerous advice.
Ever run across a tote that contained Vydate? It is widely used.
