Milk crates are square or rectangular interlocking boxes made out of heavy-duty plastic that are used to transport milk and other products from dairies to retail establishments.

Milk crate theft

Milk crates are often stolen for either personal or business use or for the plastic that they are made out of. Theft of milk crates can costs dairies millions of US dollars per year. This has led at least one dairy farm to hire a private investigator to discover what is happening to the crates; the results of investigations point to plastic re-sellers being the culprits in the majority of thefts

Illegal uses

Despite the fact that most milk crates display warnings stating that use by other than the registered owner is punishable by law, they are often stolen and used for varying purposes. Milk crates are used for storage, as seating, as bookshelves, and as parts of makeshift furniture, in addition to many other uses. These crates are well suited for many of these purposes because of their strength and because they are interlocking. Milk crates are also a popular form of transporting scrap metal, and can be found in most metal recycling centers.

How do I attach a milk crate to my bike?
Q. I've got the platform over my back wheel, and the crate, and bungee cords. I want to make sure I'm attaching the crate as safely as possible. Any ideas?
Asked by citizensagainst - Sun Aug 10 15:59:05 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. All you need to do is wrap the bungee cords around the crate. After you do this shake the crate and see if it needs more tightening or not and then you're on you way.

found an antique milk crate... Erie Crate... United Dairies. It is Metal and wood but can't find any info Help?
Q. We were garage sailing today, and found this unique milk crate. It is metal on all the edges, and the bottom with small circular cutouts in the bottom, and wood possibly coated on the walls. I can't seem to find any information on it on the net, and have been searching for over an hour now. It has Erie Crate in a flag on two sides, and United Dairies on the metal corner. Does anyone know anything about this. Thanks for your help. Have a great day.
