Texas Drum & Container can arrange pick up for your empty IBC totes. As part of our Recycling Program your empty IBCs will be inspected and cleaned to be repurposed. If they do not meet reuse criteria they will be recycled; they are not sent to a landfill. Our recycling program is an environmentally sustainable practice and meets ISO 14000 rules.
Our Empty container Certificate explains the regulations regarding how empty containers must be prepared for shipping. We can work with the persons at your facility responsible for the emptying of your containers, making sure they understand the regulations regarding proper handling of empty containers, such as 40 CFR Sec. 261.7, 40 CFR Sec. 261.33(e) and 49 CFR Sec.173.29.
Should you or any of your facilities or customers have questions regarding the proper procedures for emptying containers, whether or not an item is on the EPA's "Triple Rinse List", or any other matter regarding the recycling of your containers, they are encouraged to call our Customer Service Representatives on our toll-free number, 888-403-8600.
