How much does it really hold? Would a 50lb bag fit in the 55 quart container?

I also bought the 67 pound one, and 50 pounds doesn't even fit into that, although it's close. The 40 pound bags for that size are perfect because there's plenty of room for the scoop, and it can still be closed tightly. Given that, the 55 quart would be too small for 50 pounds for sure. My last answer was incorrect... I thought I had the 55 quart container, but I don't. I am sorry about my mistake.

I sincerely doubt it. I bought the 67 quart version, and I put in a full 40 pound bag of Kirkland Healthy Weight dog food in it, and about 4 pounds of what was left in a Science Diet bag of dog food (changing my dog's food). With about 44 pounds of dog food in it, there was about 3 1/2 inches of space left at the top. So, I'd say 50 pounds of dog kibble would fit, just about exactly, in the 67 quart bin. The kibble I put in it is a smaller size kibble, too.

It easily holds 25 lbs dog food out of the bag. You may have to smash the bag in to get it to fit as the container is shorter and wider than a bag of food.

Yes. One 50-lb bag is just about a perfect fit. Makes it very easy to gauge how much concrete you'll need.

No. That's why I use a gallon bag to store them. It's a store-brand Ziploc equivalent and holds up to 66 (three boxes worth) and takes up less space than the original box or the silly dispenser sold with some. I just checked them against a quart-size bag. You could fit maybe half a box in one, if bag size is an issue. But no, they are not individually wrapped or anything like that.

Yes, it would. We store 50lbs of dog food in one just fine. Lid easily unscrews with one hand.

I would say yes , I put my chicken feed in it. I mix two different kinds and each of those are 50 pound bags and I get over half in .

Depending on how full you want to stuff the bag.... I estimate a bag can hold 125ml to 500ml and probably up to 750ml, but that would be pushing it.

I haven't had it full as yet. But, it should hold possibly the whole bag. I use it more for pancakes and waffles.

I use these for both cat food and dog food. Our cat food comes in 25lb bags. I think you *might* be able to put the bag in the container but the container is square and the bag is rectangle so it wouldn't be a great fit. This is one of the best containers I've come across and to be honest I think you'd be really happy to be able to get rid of your bag completely. These are air tight containers with a really nice seal, I don't see what purpose keeping the bag would be. These eliminate the 'bottom of the bag' issues we used to have. We started with one of these and now have 2 of these and several of the smaller styles which we use for different purposes. I use these for both cat food and dog food.

I'm not sure what it will ultimately hold, but I use it for storing my home canned foods and supplies and have had absolutely no sagging with the shelves full of quart and half gallon jars or pints double stacked.

The 50 inch bag weighs close to five pounds. I was quite surprised by how heavy it is. It is made of think canvas and seems likely to last a long time. Not for packing light however....

Yes, I have had no problem. If they make a 50 lb. bag size, then you & I will be out of luck. It will be fine.

i just transferred old bags of play sand I had out in the yard into these bags and they were 50 pound bags.. so full they hold 50 pounds.

I think this pump would handle a 55 gal. tank That's probably on the upper level limit of its capability. I personally us it for smaller containers-but don't have to turn it up full.

I only used it to store 24 lbs of dog food. It was just over half way full. If you are keeping this container in a place where ants have access, I would not recommend using this container. I recently got rid of mine, because for the third time, ants made their way in. Not thru the screw top, but thru the plastic piece that holds the screw top. I even duct taped it shut, to no avail.

Based on the manufacturer's website, it states that it holds up to 50 bags. Apparently, it holds more based on the previous answers.

We keep ours in a 35 gallon Rubbermaid container and it just fits. I don't know the weight, but it is fairly heavy. If I had to guess, I would say 50lbs+.
