In the past, when I went to a party with kegs and my jockey box, I used one of the large plastic tubs with ice to keep the kegs cool or, if I was only taking one keg, I used a neoprene sleeve with ice packs underneath it. I kept looking for a better solution, so I kept checking out round trash cans to try and find one that was not too big, not too small, but just right. Then I discovered 7 gallon buckets. They are the same diameter as 5 gallon buckets, but are taller. While they don't completely cover the keg, they cover most of it which will work since I am using a jockey box with it. Here is a side by side comparison to a 5 gallon bucket. They are also cheaper than the round trash cans I found.
