Also, all thermoplastics have some unreacted monomers and antioxidants left over in trace amounts. Additionally, HDPE is more chemically resistant than polypropylene labware, but can't be autoclaved. Still, it's chemical resistance is limited to "some organic solvents".
Honestly, as long as you arent heating your nonpolar solvents when adding to the jug, then you'll minimize leaching. But since this method calls for heating, I would suggest using a glass growler in place of the milk jug, and possibly try to avoid using a plastic syringe if you can figure out an alternative way to transfer the solvent out.
