drywell: steel vs. plastic?

Posted by Jack Nemier on November 08, 19100 at 15:17:57:
Thank goodness for the internet, i have found you. I live in an older house build by my inlaws, I have dug up the drywell wich has been catching only waste water from the kitchen sink for the last 40 years. I had the 4 ft. steel barrel pumped out. I'm still loooking into why it backed up, clogged drainage holes, corrosion, just plain old? Anyway, someone had mentioned about replacing the barrel with a plastic barrell instead. would that work, or is sticking to steel better? Or does this one even need to be replaced if i scrapped out all the yuck and muck? Thanks , your input would be a great value for I'm a musician tryig to be the handy man.
