Questions and answers

Is this bucket safe for storing food directly?
Yes. It is made from BPA-free, FDA-compliant HDPE, so food can go straight in without a liner. Wash it before first use.
Does it come with a lid?
No. The bucket ships alone, and lids are sold separately. It accepts most standard 5-gallon lids, including gasketed and gamma-seal styles.
How is 90 mil different from a regular 5-gallon bucket?
Standard buckets are usually around 70 mil or less. The 90-mil wall resists cracking and warping better under heavy loads and repeated cleaning.
Can I use it in the freezer?
Yes, it is rated down to -5°F. Leave headroom for expansion if you fill it with liquid.
Can I leave it outside?
It is not UV resistant. Prolonged sun exposure will make the plastic brittle, so store it indoors or under cover.
Is $5.98 a good price?
That is the best new price across the 5 stores listing it, at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026. Thicker 90-mil food-grade buckets usually sell for more than standard ones.
