Once you’ve installed your tap, you’ll want to put something under it to catch all the sap. Buckets are the most common, although some people use empty milk jugs and (gasp) even empty kitty litter containers (not recommended).
Once you have a tap and a bucket, go ahead and drill a hole, insert the tap and hang the bucket. The next step is waiting for gravity and Mother Nature to do their thing.(JON BODELL / Insider staff)
