you can make them out of large cardboard pieces then toss them in the recycle.

Don't think of the drums as having to store them... Think of them as big storage barrels. I have two 55 gallon plastic drums and they hold a lot of my Halloween stuff like sheets, plastic, costumes, lights, smaller props. Then I throw them in the shed and they're sturdy enough I can stack anything and everything on top of them.
One of the drums I use as a puking prop. I don't have any pictures, I made a dummy frame out of conduit, put some cloths on it with a mask. the found a cheap water pump and made him puke.
The other barrel I just sprayed foam on top to look like bloody body parts. Then started spraying red and black paint all over.

I think those garden bags would be fine. We have some similar ones at home that I was thinking of using them for drums. 22 inches seems short. I will measure mine, but mine are green.

Could use something like this too...paint and great stuff and I think you're good to go. I think I saw somewhere that someone did that with these.

You could always attach two together to make a taller barrel.

Buy a bunch of steel barrels for $5-10 before Halloween. After Halloween, put them on Craigslist for $5-10. No storage problems.
