    I get this plastic type bin from a flower shop that they ship roses in. They have two handles can stack inside each other like buckets and can hold 100lbs of transformers no problem, they are great! Also milk crates are good, laundry bins work well, and then just good old boxes I like to double them up. And then 2 liter bottle holders without the bottle inserts are great to stack full of UPS batteries.

    I use 30 gal plastic barrels, 55 gal steel drum, two holes torch in either side use a chain and cherry picker to lift, 200 gal round tote and a 250 gal tote, the kind with a plastic tank and outer steel cage. Almost forgot, of course the almighty 5 gal bucket. Need to get a couple more of those 250 totes and maybe do away with the need for many smaller containers, and plus they stack well.

    I work part time at an auto parts store. You would not believe the nice boxes and packing materials that get thrown out. Or at least they used to until I started scrapping/eBaying. I have enough "bags of air," or as I like to call them, "little Nancy Pelosis" and peanuts to last a yr or more. Motor oil boxes make good containers for heat sinks and other small items. A 6pack Pennzoil box will hold 30lbs of small transformers and motors.
