Forget the pickle bucket.

Stop by your local grocery, go to the bakery, ask them for empty icing
buckets, free except for cleaning them out. You'll have better luck in a
city than the country (greater demand for cakes and less demand for the
buckets). The buckets are food grade, usually have resealable lids and come
in about four different sizes.

....and don't smell like pickles.

OR, try a diluted bleach solution in the stinky pickle bucket for a day or two

I like the idea of the icing bucket, but I still going to try getting
the smell out of the pickle buckets. Right now I have them soaking in
baking soda solution, vinegar is an acid so I'm hoping the baking soda
being a base will netelize the vinegar. I'm going to follow that up
with a mild bleach solution. I'll let you know how it goes.

What's wrong with a dedicated pickle bucket?

Burn it.

hey, check out this site
http://www.survival-center.com/foodfaq/

it talks about pickle buckets specifically. I have had very good luck with
soaking in baking soda then dilute bleach, a good rinse, then about a day in
the sun to dry.

BTW, I use the same treatment on ALL of the buckets I find, icing buckets,
syrup.... Might as well be safe?
