After use, often containers can be cleaned and reconditioned for re-use for a compatible purpose, with significant savings to the user.  A container can sometime even be re-used several times during its lifespan, which is ideal for a reduction in carbon footprint.  However, acquiring a reconditioned container from a qualified organization is very important when considering product cross-contamination or leaking containers concerns!

​

We accept used IBC containers for the purposes of re-use.  Not all IBC container prior products will qualify for reconditioning/recertification, but our goal is to safely put back into service as many containers as possible, within the scope of our Acceptance Policy.  Some simple guidelines are listed here:

​

• Cage is free of significant rust, dents, bowing, or broken welds - maintaining its original design integrity.

• Steel and plastic pallets must have all welds and bolts intact with no missing or damaged corners.

• Bottles must be free of punctures and cuts, with no staining or UV damage, and plastic corners in place.

• Caps, gaskets and valves must be serviceable and in place, with no cracks or UV damage from sunlight.

• Valve must be closed, bungs in place, and all labels must remain.

• Bottles, cages and placards (plates) may not be spray-painted, marked or covered with residue (i.e. lading, paint, coating, pulp, etc.).

• Bottle must be “drip dry,” and material/residue free, and all hazmat must be cleaned and purged.
