We have a brand new "Tractor Supply" store on my side of town - I was a 'kid in a candy store' my first tour through there!
One thing I noticed was the wee galvanised metal 'trash cans' that are about big enough to put a five gallon bucket into. Perfect for food storage where a full-sized trashcan is too big.
Other options are old steel lockers, and the tool boxes that fit into pickup truck beds.
Another option is a good Jack Russell Terrier - they are Death on rodents!
