Must be pot luck, i started my working life at a petrol station and the flower company never wanted them, lidl also let you have them free.  ;)

*most* flower packing companies rent their buckets (I can tell ya this with some certainty as I work for one ;) ) and this have to return them even if broken. I know that ours are kept very tightly controlled.

BQ I do see your point about odd places giving them away for free, but for £3.96 I got enough buckets to do all my tomatoes and maybe peppers next year, can't argue with that :)
