Describe the load
Share container count, sizes, location, condition and prior contents.
IBC pickup & recovery
A better next step for eligible empty IBCs.
Clean Tank evaluates containers for possible reuse, reconditioning or appropriate recycling. Acceptance is not automatic and depends on the container, prior contents and program requirements.
Pickup begins with communication
Working together to solve empty containers.
Prior contents, residue, lid and valve status, labeling, container condition, quantity and location all help determine whether an IBC can enter the pickup program.
- Review the current Acceptance Policy
- Provide prior-content and condition information
- Confirm eligibility and logistics with Clean Tank
- Work with Clean Tank to help with IBCs not eligible for pickup
How it works
Four practical steps.
Review the policy
Compare the containers with the current acceptance requirements.
Confirm eligibility
Clean Tank reviews the information and any required documentation.
Arrange logistics
Eligible loads can proceed to pickup or an agreed delivery arrangement.
When pickup criteria are not met
Help with non-conforming containers.
Not every IBC qualifies for pickup or reuse. Clean Tank can work with customers to evaluate non-conforming containers and identify an appropriate path for removal, processing or material recycling when available.
Options depend on prior contents, container condition, quantity, location and applicable requirements. Contact Clean Tank before moving the containers so the available next steps can be reviewed.
Important
Do not assume a container is accepted.
Prior contents, residue, lid and valve status, labels, damage, container type, quantity and location can affect eligibility. The current Acceptance Policy controls over this page if the two differ.
