About 275-Gallon IBCs

A 275-gallon IBC tote is a versatile and efficient bulk storage container designed for transporting and storing liquids, chemicals, and other materials. Featuring a durable HDPE bottle enclosed in a protective steel cage, these totes provide strength, stability, and ease of handling. Their moderate capacity makes them ideal for industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and food processing, offering a balance between storage volume and space efficiency.

Choosing a Bulk Container

These containers are often available in one of four conditions: new, rebottled, reconditioned, and used. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:

New – Has the highest cost but is completely clean, structurally sound, and contamination-free.


Rebottled – Has a new HDPE bottle in a refurbished cage, offering a budget-friendly alternative to new totes.


Reconditioned – Has a professionally cleaned bottle with a repaired cage.


Used – Aren’t recommended for new buyers; was previously filled and emptied, meaning it may contain material residues.
