Not sure where to find new, unused milk jugs, but consider the fact that even if you do find them, you'll have to buy them perpetually... Once a plastic milk jug has held milk, it pretty much has to be thrown out -- you should never, ever re-use a milk jug.

We always use quart-sized glass canning jars.. They can be sterilized and re-used time and again.

If it's 1/2gal or 1gal size you're looking for specifically, Ball and Mason make those sizes too. They're harder to find, but they do exist.

In Ohio, you can get them at Buehlers grocery store. So maybe try some grocery stores in your area.

We re-use milk jugs now and then. We just wash them REALLY well and do a bleach rinse. I typically try to use water or tea jugs if we need a jug though.

I had a source online for new milk jugs, but it was wholesale only I think.

I use either half gallon or quart Mason jars, you can get plastic lids for them that are a lot easier than the canning lids. I didn't have any trouble finding half gallon jars around here, they had them with all the other canning jars/supplies at our local Rural King.

We reuse plastic jugs for the milk I freeze for the next kid crop.....they haven't complained yet about the taste.

(I bleach them good first, of course....)

I use quart and half gallon canning jars. Right from the bucket to a canning jar.The wide mouth jars work great with milking filters. I like glass. Easy to clean and sterilze.

I cannot find 2 qt jars around here rant), or I might use them more often. I can't keep a ton of quart jars in my fridge (or freezer, for that matter) so that' why I reuse the gallon jugs.
