Waste management companies, environmental services firms, and recycling operations need large quantities of affordable, durable containers for collecting, storing, and transporting liquid waste streams. Composite IBC totes are the workhorse container for waste management — their 275 and 330 gallon capacities handle meaningful volumes, the HDPE inner bottle resists the corrosive and aggressive nature of many waste liquids, and the steel cage withstands the rough handling that waste containers inevitably endure. Used IBCs are the natural choice for waste management because containers in this industry take the hardest beating and have the shortest service lives. Waste management companies need to cycle through containers frequently, and the economics of buying new IBCs for waste collection simply do not make sense when used containers perform the same function at 40-60% lower cost. We supply waste management companies with large quantities of cleaned, inspected used IBCs on a recurring basis, keeping your container supply stocked and your costs under control.
Industry Challenges
High container turnover — waste containers endure harsher conditions than most applications, leading to faster wear and more frequent replacement cycles that drive up container costs.
Corrosive and aggressive waste streams — industrial waste liquids, contaminated water, spent chemicals, and mixed waste streams attack container materials and accelerate degradation.
Regulatory compliance for hazardous waste — EPA, DOT, and state environmental agencies require specific container types, ratings, labeling, and documentation for hazardous waste storage and transport.
Large volume requirements — waste management operations serve multiple clients and collect waste from numerous sources, requiring large fleets of bulk containers deployed across service areas.
Rough handling conditions — waste containers are loaded and unloaded by vacuum trucks, roll-off systems, forklifts, and crane rigging in conditions where careful handling is not always possible.
How Our IBCs Solve These Challenges
Affordable High-Turnover Supply
Used IBCs at 40-60% less than new make the high replacement rate of waste management economically sustainable. Replace worn containers frequently without straining your equipment budget.
Chemical-Resistant HDPE
High-density polyethylene resists corrosive waste liquids, acids, bases, and mixed waste streams. HDPE does not corrode like metal and handles the aggressive contents typical of industrial waste collection.
DOT-Compliant Options
We carry DOT/UN rated IBCs suitable for transporting hazardous waste over public roads. Each unit is verified for certification markings and structural integrity to support regulatory compliance.
Bulk Quantity Availability
We supply waste management companies with large quantities of used IBCs on recurring schedules. Maintain your container fleet without inventory gaps — we keep stock ready for volume orders.
Rugged Steel Cage Construction
The galvanized steel cage withstands the rough handling of waste operations — vacuum truck loading, roll-off systems, forklift impacts, and stacking on transport vehicles. Built to survive real-world waste handling.
Large Fill Opening
The 6-inch top fill opening accepts waste liquid transfer hoses, funnels, and pump discharges efficiently. Large enough for fast filling operations at collection sites without splash-back or spills.
