RECLAIMIBC TOTE SERVICES
Services

One partner for the entire IBC tote lifecycle

Most companies treat a used IBC tote as either a purchase or a disposal problem. We treat it as a loop. Since 2009 we've run a single closed system — acquire → renew → redistribute → recover — so the same 275 and 330 gallon tanks keep working instead of piling up in a landfill.
The short answer

We offer five services that connect into one circular model: buying totes for you, buying totes from you, reconditioning & recycling, transport & logistics, and bulk & custom programs. Together they divert roughly 99% of every retired tote from disposal.

Why one partner

The whole loop beats a pile of vendors

When buying, selling, recycling, and freight live in separate companies, totes leak out of the loop at every handoff — and so does your money.

Run it all through one partner and the economics flip. The empties you sell us are inspected, cleaned, and reconditioned into the tanks the next customer buys. We schedule outbound and reverse freight on the same lanes, so a truck rarely runs empty. Nothing gets orphaned in a warehouse corner or hauled to a transfer station.

The result: fewer virgin totes manufactured, less HDPE and steel mined and molded, and a documented diversion trail you can hand to your sustainability team. See the numbers on our sustainability page.

How it works

The closed loop, step by step

  1. Acquire

    We buy quality used totes from bottlers, blenders, and distributors nationwide — diverting them the moment they go idle. Sell us yours.

  2. Renew

    Each tote is inspected, triple-rinsed, hot-washed, pressure-tested, and re-caged — or rebottled with a new HDPE vessel on a reused cage. See reconditioning.

  3. Redistribute

    Renewed totes go back to work with buyers who need food-grade, industrial, or rebottled tanks. Grade guidance in our grades guide.

  4. Recover

    When a tote finally reaches end of life, we granulate the HDPE into new products and recycle the steel cage — closing the loop at ~99% diversion.

Questions

Services FAQ

What services do you offer for IBC totes?
We buy, sell, recondition, recycle, and transport used and new IBC totes. We can source tanks for you, take your empties, refurbish or rebottle them, recover the HDPE and steel at end of life, and handle freight both directions.
Do I have to use every service?
No — take what you need. Many customers just buy or just sell. But running the full loop with one partner is where the savings and landfill diversion come from.
Where do you provide service?
Nationwide across the lower 48, dispatched from our Peoria, Illinois hub, with LTL and full-truckload freight to and from your facility.
