We use the 35 gallon black Rubbermade trash cans (~$15 at HD) for all sorts of in the field rain catchment to avoid having to haul water. Can be filled to the brim without splitting and tend to last ~ 4 years before they get brittle and we turn them into normal trash / recycling cans.
Note that 30 gallons of water is 240 pounds, so need to plan for how to move, drain, or siphon the cans once you get them home!
