good question, i'm not sure... also not sure how airtight the seal would be??? i'm using glass jars, with a rubber sealer on them.

Yup. Alot of people use large Rubbermaid totes when they have a large amount to cure. Sealing it to be as air tight as possible is needed. I keep all my empty spaghetti sauce jars (Classico) for curing needs now though. The seals on them are great.

Wide mouth mason jars are cheap. Garage sale cheaper.

you could even use black bin bags and open every now and then for an hour or 2

BUT!! Like Grumpy, we also use plastic jars that seal well/airtight. My wife cans also, so have a good selection of wide mouth mason jars.

Use whatcha got and snag some mason jars when you can.

Yes. But plastic holds smells. So if it's not new the smell of what was in it can mess with the real smell of the bud
