Follow these easy steps to start selling!
Container Expectations
To be eligible for purchase, all containers must be structurally sound and meet the following criteria. We cannot accept containers with:
- Cracks or damage to the inner tank
- Severe oxidation or rust on the cage or components
- Discoloration or staining inside the bottle
- Major structural deformities or compromised frames
- Wooden pallets (only plastic or metal bases accepted)
- More than 5 gallons of residual product
Maintaining these standards helps ensure safe reuse and compliance with industry regulations.
Non-RCRA Empty Totes
Containers classified as Non-RCRA empty totes will not be accepted. They will be rejected at the dock and returned to you at your expense.
Take Photos of Your Totes
To ensure accurate evaluation, please provide clear photos of the following:
- The interior of one tote
- A close-up of a valve
- A group shot of all totes being sold
Additionally, include photos or copies of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for previous contents to verify safe handling and compliance.
Prepare Your Totes for Pickup
To ensure a smooth and efficient pickup, please make sure your totes meet our acceptance criteria and are staged in an accessible location. Proper preparation helps avoid delays and ensures a hassle-free experience.
All removable contents must be drained/pumped out, with no more than 1 inch of residue remaining on the bottom of the tote, or the applicable weight-based residue limit met.
All closures must be in place and in the locked (closed) position.
Organize your totes so they can be properly loaded.
