I banging can work. If the bucket has a handle, the metal or plastic kind that hinges back and forth, putting the stuck buckets upside down and stepping on the handle of the bottom one while pulling the top ones works well.  

Avoiding stacking them when they are wet is also good to do when possible.

Dear Friends--Like many of us, I try to reuse a lot of 5 gallon plastic buckets I procure from various sources.  One problem I have is that stacks of buckets often get stuck together and are very difficutl to separate.  Does anyone have any tricks to share to "unstick" buckets that are jammed together?  Thanks.  Tom

MY NOTE:  Sustainable development does not mean "sustainable growth" as growth per se is not sustainable.  And the term "sustainable" has to mean "for a very long time" (A. Bartlett).
