I store waste oil in a 5-gallon bucket with a snap-on lid. I think it
originally held mayonnaise. I can't recall where I got it, but I suspect
they're free for asking from restaurants
Anyway, I've been using it for years without any sign of deterioration.
Don't know about HD paint buckets, but food-grade polyethylene is pretty
stable.
