Questions & Answers

Is it 5 gallons to the top of the bucket?
ByJul 16, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Quilter - There is no fill line on our 5-gallon buckets, but you will reach five gallons at about the second ring from the top. This is an approximate measure.

    Does it come with a lid?

    Answer This Question

    Hi Deboodles: Our lids are sold separately so you can choose the lid that best suits your needs. Our bucket are a standard size so any 5-gallon lid should fit. We have three types of lids: "Easy-off" (search #723222) pushes on and off much like the lids on a deli container. "Heavy Duty Lids with Gasket" (#529776) provide a tighter seal and have a tear-tab to remove. "Screw-Top Lid" (#266050) is a two part design. A ring sits permanently on the lip of the bucket and the middle section screws on and off. You should be able to find something that fits your needs on homedepot.com.

      Answer This Question

      HI Karen, No, we do not consider the the orange Homer bucket to be food safe. Currently the only food safe bucket we have at Home Depot (search Item# 300197644) is a 5-gallon white bucket. If a bucket is food safe, it will appear explicitly on a sticker with the label. IPL Leaktite's food safe buckets have a sticker with a spoon, fork, and knife with the words "Manufactured Using Food Safe Resin."

        Hi Mary, No, currently the only food-safe lid Home Depot buys is our screw-top lid. Our food safe products will have a sticker explicitly identifying it as food safe. You can find the lid by searching HomeDepot.com #303808738.

              Does the Ryobi ONE+ bucket top fan fit on top of the 2 gallon bucket?
              ByMay 18, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hi Murray, I'm going to say not without some improvisation. A 5GL bucket diameter is 11.872" and a 2GL bucket is 9.25". From the online photo, the Ryobi ONE+ looks to fit snuggly on the rim. A 3.5GL bucket has the same diameter as a 5GL if you're looking for something shorter.

                  Love your buckets but wished they were sold together and not separate
                  by
                  It's a bucket... like many others, except it's Orange! They're strong and sturdy - enough to carry loads of dirt or rocks around. Also, they can used as improvised saw horses when in a pinch. Bought these online and saved me a trip to the store since they shipped for free. Recieved them very quickly (same or next day).

                  Excellent Value
                  I mean, who doesn't know about Home Depot buckets. They are what they are. I've been using them to collect rainwater for quite a while. You can also drill a few holes in them and use them as a container for tomatoes and peppers. It's almost the perfect capacity for these plants' roots. The handles are quite sturdy and easy to hold. I've moved buckets filled with soil or water all around the garden holding the handle. The color and the style keeps changing though. It would be nice if they were uniform.
