I use other pans as a drip tray indoors. I buy the bulk pack trays at Sam's (15 full trays or 30 half trays for $12 or so) as drip trays. I get the two pack trays at grocery stores with the lids. I like the deep dishes and get the half trays (not the cake pans) - this way you can put two of them in one drip tray.

Outdoors I just place them on the ground since I don't want water collecting in case it rains (which we got 20+ inches of in Sept and then quite a bit more when Ida passed through recently).

I should mention that any aluminum pan will eventually corrode to where they need to be replaced or used as a cutting tray. Sand is very corrosive (and fertilizer) to aluminum. Plastic pans cost a lot more and can be easily broken.
