Reused barrels
A dairy producer has 150-200 #2 HDPE plastic 55-gallon barrels that contained teat dip (non-hazardous disinfectant). He would like to keep them out of the landfill and have someone put them to good use. They are located in Hurdle Mills, in Person County, about 30 miles north of Durham. If you're interested, please contact Derek Day, Director of Person County Cooperative Extension, at derek_day@ncsu.edu.
