For commercial, I can see it, but for a regular person, never heard of any restrictions.
Problem is most places won't take more than 5 gallons at a time.
Even if that poster is referencing California, the personal limit is 55 gallons. There is a requirement to contact the accepting location if they will bring more than 20 gallons or any container bigger tan 5 gallons.
