drum locks justrite

Justrite Drum Locks are a cost effective solution to controlling storage concerns of all types of liquids, semi-liquids, and powders that come in standard drums. Made of corrosion resistant, non-sparking zinc die cast, the units easily install around the drum bung flange with no risk of cross threading. To secure the drum lock it is not necessary to remove the original bung, therefore there is no contact with the drum contents. This elimination of potential content contamination has applications across many industries, including chemical and food processing. It installs in seconds. Simply place both halves around the bung lip, slide the lock bar through the halves and then attach a padlock(9/32" or7.14mm dia. shackle, typical of a No. 3 Master Lock) through the end hole of the bar. Sold as a pair, these drum
locks fit the most popular style of steel and plastic 55 gallon (200L) drums. The steel set includes two units; one to fit over the 2" NPT plug, the other to fit over the 3/4" NPT plug. The plastic set includes two units which fit over both 2" plugs. Both sets are available without or with a No.3 Master Lock® padlock.

Fun With Drums...  "Compost Tea"...
compost tea
 
Making compost tea is not only "Green Motivated" but truly beneficial to your plants and garden growth.  A basic compost tea is made up from adding compost  to water and using aeration to breed bacteria that is Growing Fuel for plants. By using compost tea you will notice the speed of the growth process and produce a bigger crop for harvest.

green breeze green living fair

July 24 - Birmingham, MI

Maxi Container had a great time at the Green Breeze Fair. We were selling our signature Terra Cotta Rain Barrel Kits and DIY Compost Tumbler Kits. We appreciate everyone who came out and showed support. Good times were had by all of Maxi's employees despite off and on showers to start the day. The weather cleared up and so did everyone's spirits. Thank you Birmingham for making the Green Breeze Green Living Fair happen.
Maxi had fun mingling with the public

We have found there are hundreds of different  style's of  rain barrel collection systems. All the systems are beneficial in
 "Going Green" by conserving water and saving your hard earned money. We decided to look for the "Best Packaged Deal". After many tests and design trials we came up with an easy to use rain barrel kit. One of our kits new features is the Terra Cotta color. No more bright colored eye sores for your back yard, just a warm inviting sensation.  Our new rain barrel has an easy on-and-off screw top cover. These new covers  allow  for no hassle cleaning. Another great new feature is the plastic mesh screen secured to the top of the barrel pictured below.

The plastic mesh screen acts like a strainer to catch large debris like leaves that comes from roofs and gutters. This simple yet advanced rain barrel design is not only easy to use, but aggressively priced. Our kit includes a brass spigot (already installed for you), a pre-cut hole, screen, screws, washers, overflow valve, flexible downspout adapter and instructions. Some assembly required.
