55-gallon drum liners are useful for transporting debris and loose-fill insulation in an attic. They may be collapsed as needed to pass through an opening, yet are self-supporting at a thickness of thirty mils.
There are many uses including painting or plaster prep, where major debris is collected on a sheet, and the loaded sheet is easily shaken out in the drum liner.
I buy them from:
CDF, Inc.
77 Industrial Park Rd.
Plymouth, MA 02360
1-800-443-1920
They are 30 mil thickness, Product Code 5530/34.25-G4.
I made a first purchase as a case of ten, with cost and weight breakdown thus:
Containers weighing 39.3 lb, plus box, 45 lb gross.
Charged $118.70 plus $92.91 FedEx freight, $211.61 total.
Use a drum liner too, in compressing and dragging batts through tight spaces in an attic.
Shopping Update at 7/14/2023
For delivery in Western United States, I am referred by CDF to chemicals distributor Terra Firma, of Los Angeles. 55 gallon drum liners are manufactured first for clean shipment of chemicals in 55 gallon steel drums, and Terra Firma generously sells them to permit CDF product sales with reduced shipping cost. Here is their offer to me:
CDF 55 Gal straight side 30 mil drum insert – 10 inserts per case – FOB Carson, CA
Our item # CDF552
Minimum order quantity – 1 case
1 case - $29.11/insert
2-3 cases - $26.62/insert
4 cases or more - $24.33/insert
Lead time: 3-4 days once we have your account set up, assuming we have stock available.
See cost $291.10 plus shipping in excess of $100.
Up from $118.70 plus shipping, in 2008. That's rise of 16% per year, for fifteen years.
I will learn what is least-cost shipping with Terra Firma, probably LTL freight.
Seeking least-cost purchase, persist with direct purchase from CDF in Massachusetts.
Unit cost is $20.6223, $206.22 for ten.
"Shipping UPS is $428.62 for 1 box. LTL rate for one box and it would run approximately $250.00."
About $456 then, direct from CDF, for a box of ten.
