Milk crates are commonly used among the dairy providers. They use these crates to transport cases of milk to retailers, and schools more easily. These crates are made of a heavy durable plastic and they are often given back to the dairymen once the retailers unload their crates of milk. Milk crates though make good containers for storage and they are stackable too. The retailers and schools though cannot keep them for they are the property of the dairy council and it’s quite illegal to take one. All hope is not lost though as you can purchase milk type crates specifically designed for us common folk use.
