Abstract: A nestable drum for storing liquids is disclosed. In one non-limiting example, a drum may include a tapered cylinder between a first end and a second end. The tapered cylinder can have a top opening at the first end. A recessed port is positioned along a surface of the tapered cylinder. The recessed port can provide a side opening and can be configured as an outlet port for a liquid. The drum also includes a first recessed platform and a recessed platform. The first recessed platform can be nearer to the first end than the second end along on the surface of the tapered cylinder. The second recessed platform can nearer to the second end than the first end along on the surface of the tapered cylinder. The second recessed platform can extend further inward toward a center of the tapered cylinder than the first recessed platform.
