Off topic - IBC's and Charity appeal.

Not locost related but hope im forgiven as its for a charity.

Im after some IBC's (1 cubic metre plastic bulk containers). Dont have to be clean or A1 but need to be washable (no nasties inside), water tight, and either delivered or in my local area.

The charity i do some work is collecting old tools, household item, dresmaking stuff, computers, monitors, printer, fridge, cookers, etc etc etc to be sent to a village in Ghana. We are buying a transport container to put them in which will become an office out there. However trying to get these odd shaped items crated to fill the container has given us a headache. The idea therefore is to use the IBC's (with small section cut out of top) to stick the stuff in - stack it in container and then once unpacked in Ghana they can be used as water collection units for the fruit farm we are also setting up.

All i need is 50 ish IBC's - cant be that hard can it????? Ideally im hoping a large company or transport company will know of some going spare and maybe passes our place in North East.



We are alo after catering equipment, old computers, tools etc - anything that can be used fro setting up schools, canteen, training centre, sanitation, pasteurising plant, fruit farm etc so if you have anything please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Darren.

You need to be at what used to be Sotralentz on Peterlee industrial estate near Cat. they make them all there, I can't remember their new name though. Give me a little time and I will get you the details.
