Fill in a few details — quantity, product type, the work you need done. A partner supplier follows up with you.
We're a referral and quote-matching service for Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. You tell us what you need (buy, sell, wash, modify, haul or recycle totes) through the quote form, and we pass the request to partner suppliers in our network. The supplier quotes you directly and fulfils the order. We don't own a yard, trucks or inventory ourselves.
We handle requests through the quote form. A written request lets us pass the right details to partner suppliers, and a partner supplier follows up with you.
Only a food-grade tote that previously held food-safe contents and has been properly washed, and only if your local code allows it (verify with your local health department). For long-term potable storage, a new or dedicated potable-rated tote is the safer choice, with a first-flush diverter if it's fed by rainwater.
Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers. It depends on size, grade, quantity, current availability and freight. Request a quote for a firm number.
Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers and depends on size, valve and pallet type, plus freight. Lead times vary by supplier; your quote will state price and timing.
Often, yes. Pickup is available through partner suppliers in our network; whether it's free or deducted from the offer depends on the quantity, condition and distance. Details on Sell Your IBCs.
Freight is arranged by or through the supplying partner, so delivery range depends on the supplier and the load. Long-haul shipping of empty totes adds cost and emissions, so a closer source is usually better when one is available. See shipping & delivery.
The footprint is the same (about 48" × 40"); the 330 is taller (roughly 53" vs. 46"). The 330 is heavier when full. Most applications can go either way — pick by ceiling or dock height and product density. See the size guide.
Ask for it in your quote request. Some partner suppliers allow viewing by appointment or can send photos of the specific units; the supplier will confirm what's possible.
Yes, stainless totes (commonly 304 or 316 grade) can be sourced through partner suppliers, though availability of used units varies. See stainless steel IBCs.
The steel cage usually outlasts the HDPE bottle. How many trips a bottle can make depends on what it held, UV exposure and handling. Reconditioners commonly re-bottle sound cages with new bottles.
HDPE totes generally suit most water-based chemistries, foods, dilute acids and bases, glycol, fertilizer, soaps and many oils. They're generally not suitable for aromatic or chlorinated solvents, fuels, strong oxidizers, or sustained high temperatures. Always check compatibility for your product. More on the material guide.
UN markings on an IBC show it was design-tested for transporting regulated (hazardous) materials. Rebottled or reconditioned totes need to be retested and remarked to be used for hazmat shipping. This site doesn't take requests for UN-rated totes for hazardous materials; check current regulations and work with a qualified packaging supplier.
Yes, food-grade totes can be sourced through partner suppliers. "Food grade" usually means the tote previously held only food-safe contents and was properly washed, or is new. Ask the supplier to confirm previous contents and wash method in writing.
Yes. Washing and reconditioning is available through partner suppliers in our network; pricing depends on the wash level and quantity. See reconditioning.
Ask the supplier. Reputable sellers can usually tell you previous contents, and many tote labels or documents show it. If previous contents are unknown, don't use the tote for food, potable water or anything sensitive.
Yes — it's one of the most common reuse applications. A lower grade often works since you're not drinking the water, but avoid totes that held toxic contents. See repurposed goods.
Yes. Some partner suppliers offer cutting or sell ready-made planters, or you can cut one yourself with a reciprocating saw and a fine-tooth blade. Use a tote that held food-safe contents if you're growing edibles.
Wood is the common default and usually cheapest. Plastic pallets are often preferred for food and pharma environments. Steel suits heavy cycling. See the pallet section of the size guide.
Composite IBCs are designed to stack, but limits depend on the model, fill level and floor. Check the stacking load marked on the tote and the manufacturer's guidance, never stack a damaged or mismatched tote, and be more conservative outdoors.
Condition, returns and any warranty are set by the supplying partner and confirmed in writing on your quote. Read the quote before you accept it. See condition & returns.
Payment terms are set by each partner supplier. If you need net terms, mention it in your quote request.
Beyond the quick-answer questions on the main FAQ, here's deeper context on the most common topics.
This site is a referral service. Your request is passed to partner suppliers who reply with quotes, so a written request — with size, grade, quantity, contents and location — gives them what they need to answer accurately.
'Food grade' is mostly an operational label. In practice it's defined by the receiver's audit requirements — commonly schemes like SQF, BRCGS or FSSC 22000 — plus documented previous contents and cleaning. If you need a tote to pass an audit, ask the supplier in advance what documentation they can provide and check it against your auditor's checklist.
