Most non-disposable plastics are fine, but for long term use with saltwater you want "polyethylene", or PE, and specifically "HDPE", which is higher density and more resistant to most common chemicals, UV light etc..

Buckets, including Home Depot, are HDPE.

"Food grade" is being misused in this thread. Brute trashcans are not designed for food processing... lol, but they are HDPE.
