Looking to get rid of those used totes? We can help!
The Cary Company offers disposal services to help customers responsibly recycle many types of used IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers). After receiving these containers, we have them cleaned out and reconditioned or properly disposed of.
Though empty IBC Totes waste space and resources, companies should not throw out used IBCs. IBC disposal must be in compliance with strict federal, state and local environmental regulations. The Cary Company can work out proper disposal and recycling of a variety of totes and intermediate bulk containers. In order for us to pick up the containers, they need to be completely empty of product. If an emptier cannot see the majority of the bottom (exposed / free from being covered over by any residue) of a plastic inner receptacle of an IBC, it is not RCRA empty.
An emptier is allowed 0.3% by weight of the total volume in a bulk container. A bulk container is defined by US EPA as 119 Gallons and up.
In a 275 Gallon IBC, an emptier is allowed .9 of 1 gallon total volume.
In a 330 Gallon IBC, an emptier is allowed 1.1 gallons total volume.
The weight is measured by what the SG is of the SDS in the container. Below 119 gallons is considered a Non-Bulk Container. In those instances, an emptier is allowed 3% of total volume.
