Rather than either having to manhandle a 30 gallon garbage can when trying to empty it, or going to the hassle of having to add a drain and valve; why not look into using a couple of smaller cans. That also lets you wash the neoprene separate from the BC and reg (I'll let you guess as to why my neoprene gets its very own wash cyclepfriedel:So this summer, rather than hanging all of my gear on the clothesline and getting liberal with the hose and hoping I get everything clean, I'm thinking about buying a big 30 gallon garbage can with lid and filling it with water to dunk rinse everything.

What works for me is simply 2 sterilite containers, 58 quart size. Big enough to fit a complete set of gear between them. Small enough that it isn't a pain to fill and empty them each time. Often I'll even do a shampoo rinse of the neoprene and then a fresh water rinse.
