When I put my cars in storage, I just get some small colanders from the dollar store, fill them with the pellets and place them in a plastic tub/drain pan to collect the liquid.
If you already have the DZA pot or dollarstore container, just dump the used stuff out, dry and refill. The small ones work great in door pockets cause they don't tip over.

Just to clarify for the dumb like me, so can I just buy calcium chloride in bulk and leave it in any open container in my car?
